Egg Piercer

A model of an EGG PIERCER from old days. Pierce the blunt end of the egg using the piercing needle, before you put the egg into a pot with boiling water.So this egg has a chance, that the eggshell does not show any cracking after the cooking time.I recently found this simple household item in the furthest corner of a kitchen drawer and I don't know, whether it is still necessary and relevant. But I think this item - mainly made of plastic - is really build up as simple as possible for its effective function.Therefore I hope, it's 3D-printable too.Notes:The neutral length of the compression spring is 15,5 mm.For creating the screen shot of the quarter section I used the fantastic software»PTC Creo View Lite«. This software is for "Free" and supports a lot of different CAD-Data-Formats and is very easily to use, by "Drag 'n' Drop" your 3D-Model into the opened window of the application. /!\ So this software is not only recommended for users of »PTC Creo Parametric« /!\The complete assembly of the model is available in following data formats:STEP-file (.stp) of the complete assembly, STL-files (.stl) of all plastic componentsand the native file(s) (.asm) and (.prt), together in a(.zip)-folder,for users of »PTC Creo Parametric 2.0«
