Easter Egg Holder - Group 5

thingiverse

Easter egg holders. Includes OpenScad source, so you can make your own custom versions. See "How_to_Meshmixer_Voronoi.txt" for making your own holey models. Before you print, measure your egg diameter where you want it to rest on the holder and make your model match. Make it match by either editing the \*.scad and making a new \*.stl file, or by scaling it in your slicer. These models have been tuned to allow printing without rafts or support, so that they print well on my low cost printer. It seems that Thingiverse can only render OpenScad files number 1 and 2, but not 3, 4, and 5, but my PC can do them all. It works well to print EggHolder_group5_1.meshmix.dual_edges.stl upside down, so that is how the model is placed in the stl file. Special instructions are needed for models 3, 4, and 5, if you want to modify the OpenScad files and generate new stl files: 3: with the 3 tree frogs, uses the file "treefrog_45_cut.stl". You must obtain it from thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18479 4: with the 4 bunnies, uses the file "stargazing_rabbit.stl". You must obtain it from thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25644. The photo of model 4 with the 4 pink bunnies was printed at 50% scale. 5: requires 2 steps because OpenScad cannot perform the calculations in 1 step. First step: run OpenScad to create a single tube and save it to file "EggHolder_group5_5.tube.stl". Second step: run OpenScad to use the tube file and render the final 4 sided thing. 6: with the 10 chickens uses Chiken_t_rr.stl (provided). I started with Chiken_t.stl from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:182098 and modified it with Meshmixer to reduce the number of triangles by 50% and repair.
