Easter Eggs with filament

prusaprinters

<p><strong>Eggs with spiral holes for 1,75 filament</strong><br>For 3mm resize the model to 171-172%</p><p>Even pure model can be used as a decoration but combined with some nice color filament it will look better :)<br>Cut filament to 10,5cm each (4.13inch), or little more (you need 10,3cm but it's better to cut off the rest later)</p><p>Pliers or some flat metal may be used to push filament in the hole.<br>I started from the top, pushed the end in with pliers and then pushing it all the way down. May not be very easy, depends on filament used and prints options.</p><p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong></p><ul><li>TPU is the easiest to use for this</li><li>for PET-G (on photos) or similar flexibility filament you may need pliers to bend both ends.</li><li>PLA can be used too (I did it on prototypes) but it may break unless you will heat it up a little - be carefull to not overheat the egg (it will deform) OR cut smaller pieces like 6-7cm instead of 10,5cm and use it in the center only (where we have smaller angles)</li></ul><p>---</p><p>No infill needed<br>2 walls should be good</p><p>With transparent filament you can get a nice result with darker edges when using more top/bottom layers than walls.<br>For more clear result use the same numbers on both(for white egg I used 3 walls/top/bottom)</p><p><br>&nbsp;</p>
