Egg

This text explains how egg shapes can be used to teach 3D modeling in classes. Eggs are simple geometric shapes that students design within their first session of 3D modeling lessons. The process takes between five to thirty minutes if they follow the tutorial provided by Inventor Studios in Tinkercad. After completing their models, students receive a printed version as a keepsake for their next class. Japanese erasers and backpack keychains are also mentioned as popular learning tools due to their basic 3D shapes. Joinery is considered an important skill for young inventors to learn, and designs consisting of multiple pieces provide interesting results when assembled or individually printed. The tutorial collection in Tinkercad helps students develop and refine their modeling skills. Additionally, the text highlights that printing this model requires a raft and supports for the yolk, which may also be needed for the shells depending on the plastic chosen, such as PLA or ABS.
