<p><i><small>Last Updated 2015-12-15</small></i></p><p>The egg is a one-piece print with 18 hinges and a screw mechanism<br>to control the opening of the ornament. There are some cool<br>techniques in this model that I would like to show you in detail.</p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/uL-gP7HRLfU">https://youtu.be/uL-gP7HRLfU</a><br></p><p>The usage is very simple: Print the egg in one piece, grab a coin and<br>open the egg gently. The first time you open the egg there are 18<br>SmartBridges that will break (it makes a pretty cool sound, if I say so<br>myself). Then you need to screw your coin clockwise to open it.</p><p>The first time it will be a bit rough (don't worry, it won't break), but afteronce having been opened and closed, it will open and close easily.<br><br><u>Print Instructions:</u><br></p><p>This model is printed on a Replicator 2 with standard settings.<br>LayerHeight: 0.2mm.<br>No Raft - No Support.</p><p>If you use another slicer then you need to make sure that the bottom<br>layer is at 100% or less.</p><p><u>SmartBridge:</u></p><p>I haven't seen this technique before, that’s why I named it so - hopefully I<br>am the first one :-). The concept is very simple. To create a horizontal<br>one-piece hinge, I've added a small bridge of about 0.4mm right beneath<br>the hinge. Once the hinge is getting moved, the support bridge breaks<br>and the hinge is free to move.</p><p><i>See images for more detail.</i><br></p><p><u>StencilWall</u><br></p><p>A stencilWall is a simple way to add some color to your print.<br>It's a tight layer around your models with some shape in it. This way it<br>can be sprayed easily. I also created a seam in the wall for easy<br>removal.</p><p><i>See images for more detail.</i></p><p><i><u></u></i><u>unfinished time-lapse </u><i></i></p><p><i><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/tHU37EXGkEA">https://youtu.be/tHU37EXGkEA</a></i><br></p><p><u>I would like to thank:</u> </p><p>Makezine: For making this contest happen, of course.<br>Ultimaker: For support.<br>3DHubs for connecting designers and 3d printers.<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.3dhubs.com/users/jatmn">JATMN</a> ,<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.3dhubs.com/users/sybren_zwetsloo">Sybren_Zwetsloo</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.3dhubs.com/users/3dvangelist">3Dvangelist</a> for test-printing my design and providing the necessary feedback to make the model usefull on different printers<br></p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.3dhubs.com/users/3dvangelist">3Dvangelist</a> tested the print on a Da Vinci PRO<br>LayerHeight: 0.2mm.<br>No Raft - No Support. </p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.3dhubs.com/users/jatmn">JATMN</a> tested the print on a Wanhao Duplicator 4 using Simplify3D <br>LayerHeight: 0.2mm.<br>Infill: 20%<br>No Raft - No Support.</p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.3dhubs.com/users/sybren_zwetsloo">Sybren_Zwetsloo</a> tested the print on a ultimaker 2<br>LayerHeight: 0.2mm.<br>Infill: 20%<br>No Raft - No Support.</p><p><u>ProTip:<br></u>Since the design is egg-shaped, you can also use it for next Easter<br>(saves you material and time).</p>
