Standing/Sitting Chick Egg Cup

thingiverse

Because the original Chick Egg Cup (thing:26641) wasn't whimsical enough - I created this version to stand on a shelf, then sit at the table. This model holds eggs that are 42-46mm diameter. To fit larger eggs, you can either scale the .stl model or edit the parts directly in Tinkercad https://tinkercad.com/things/d0iM19x3Ec3-standingsitting-chick-egg-cup -- Update 13 July 2012 -- The inner wall of the cup didn't bridge very well. I've revised the design to flatten this part, and uploaded separate .stl files for body & feet. Still a work in progress. -- Update 15 July 2012 -- Uploaded v3 files which: • Fixes an issue where a wing was at -0.29mm below Z (causing some slicing issues) • Changes the leg position and angle to improve the center of gravity • Changes the top of the leg to be slightly tapered & elongates the back of the feet. Instructions Print the body and chick feet separately (and in different colors if you like). There is very little tolerance for fit, so you may need to sharpen the top of the legs then push them into the leg holes. I printed the body with: • 0.35 layer height • 3 perimeter shells • 3 solid layers • 25% infill using a honeycomb pattern I printed the feet with: • 0.2 layer height • 4 perimeter shells • 3 solid layers • 100% infill using a concentric pattern
