Stress Eggs - Torture Test - more coming

thingiverse

You want it harder, but also beautiful? Can you and your printer handle it? Egg 1 - 4 have enough space between the eggs to manage it on medium-calibrated printers, if you manage your settings. If you like it with more difficulty, less space between the parts, more cutouts, etc., write in comments, how far can we go? Printed my Egg 1 in ABS! on a modified Anet A8: https://youtu.be/r3VDSf2LWgQ Longer Video from the ABS print with small tips: https://youtu.be/Eq14PsOnR8U Inspired by the legendary "Makers Muse" Torture Egg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IHmfQviSoE More will come if you like them. Please write in comments which one you tried and if you managed to do it, please post the make. If you try to help others, post your settings and machine. Now some descriptions for an overview of what each has: Egg 1: The Nr. 1 isn't so hard, but it's a torture test. On the bottom is 0.2mm space between the "eggs." On top is 1mm. The problem with Nr. 1 is normally not the bottom part; it's the top section with massive overhang! That's why I gave you 1mm space between the parts. If you're unsure that your printer can handle it, push the part into your printer bed (in your slicer) and first only print the upper part alone. But also think about the height and the "thin" parts upwards. As higher you come, as more they move if your hotend is scratching on the surface. Egg 2: The Nr. 2 Modified Elipse cuts and more torture at the top. On the bottom is again 0.2mm space between the "eggs." On top is again 1mm air between the eggs but with cutouts at massive overhangs. The massive overhang at the top are the problem. But the space between the eggs and the cutouts can be used to get it "free." But with 1mm space, there should be no problem, normally. If you're unsure that your printer can handle it, push the part into your printer bed (in your slicer) and first only print the upper part alone. But also think about the height and the "thin" parts upwards. As higher you come as more they move if your hotend is scratching on the surface. Egg 3: - Added base on the bottom. On the bottom is 0.2mm space between the "eggs." On top is 1mm. No special problem zones, only the uppest part of the middle egg. Hope your retraction settings are good! But also think about the height and the "thin" parts upwards. As higher you come as more they move if your hotend is scratching on the surface! If you're unsure that your printer can handle it, push the part into your printer bed (in your slicer) and first only print the upper part alone. Egg 4: - On the bottom is 0.2mm space between the "eggs." - On top is 1mm (nothing changed yet). - Middle section for all the printers who have problems with massive overhangs. With the middle section, there are no massive overhangs. Is this still torture? Yes, if your printer is not well-calibrated and your retraction settings are worse. But also think about the height and the "thin" parts upwards. As higher you come as more they move if your hotend is scratching on the surface! If you're unsure that your printer can handle it, push the part into your printer bed (in your slicer) and first only print the upper part alone. Try them and if they are not hard enough, scale them smaller. Or write in comments. Otherwise, how should I know that this isn't enough torture for your equipment? Feel free to tell me how far you want to go. How close can we get before stuck? If you find problems or if the files corrupted or or or... contact me or write in comments
