A rather whimsical egg cup shaped like a chick.I looked at the existing egg cup designs on Thingiverse and rather liked http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7834 by bpijls. So I set out to design something similar for chicken eggs.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/hvw1rSKFOVaThe overhang at the base of the cup can be difficult to print.I succeeded to print with:
• 0.35 layer height
• 4 perimeter shells
• 35% infill using a concentric pattern
• switching the cooling fan on only after the first 20 layers
• no supports (but you might need them)Oh, and be very gentle removing the cup from the build platform, many chick feet have been harmed in the making of this thing.
