Nest of Dragon eggs

prusaprinters

<p>I have created a nest of dragon eggs with a baby dragon at its center! These models that fit inside models are more challenging then one might think - especially if you add intricate patterns.</p><p>Assembled, the biggest egg is 8.7cm tall and then baby dragon is 4.8cm tall</p><p>This was originally one of my Patreon (currently on hold) models and is now an Easter gift to the community for 2022 (and thereafter).<br><br>They are scaled (haha!) so the largest egg pieces can fit on a Prusa SL1 (working on the basis that most people don't have larger resin printers.</p><p>FDM machine people - these eggs will work very well for you too but you are strongly advised to scale up the eggs, using a consistent scale should you wish them to fit inside one another.</p><p>Each of the eggs would make a decent container in its own right though and the baby dragon is detailed enough to stand alone as a larger figurine.</p><p>I printed the eggs in resin, flat on the bed, so I have versions of the lower pieces with pressure release holes but as I know people like to print things in their own way, the included versions do not have the holes. Let me know if you'd like those versions though and I will upload them.</p><p>Incidentally, in a further effort to try new things, the swirly silver egg has been painted with Stuart Semple's heat sensitive Shift paint. The effect was even more marked before I silvered the egg, but silver was in my egg vision and I think it works very well. By the way, the pattern was based the cracks in a tea egg I'd made ages ago but had forgotten about (the pattern, not the egg, the egg was disposed of in a timely manner)</p><p>I made a multi material version of the biggest dragon egg. This is scaled bigger than the original because I think with FDM MMU you'll get a much better result on a larger model. The print of the MMU egg was made by FilamanetFrenzy a.k.a Tom Jackson</p>
