If you want to have a place to efficiently and aesthetically hold up to about 12 eggs on the table, this may come in handy.

The whole thing can be customised using openscad, there are several factors to play with:

// height of the largest egg

eggh=60;

// how many eggs per level

eggsperlevel=1;

// width of the egg

eggd=46;

// length of the arm to hold the egg

arml=50;

// width of the central column on which the holder is placed

columnd=20;

// height of the bottom

wall=3;

// how many faces the central column has (>=3)

colfn=6;

// how much wiggleroom to add

wiggle=0.8;

// how much space above the arm before the next holder starts

spacing=20;

//number to make

make_n = 1; // [1:6]

In the files are at least the 3 arm holder (note different versions depending on which order to put them) with 8 side column and 30mm spacing.

Due to how the code works, the number of sides affects how the arms are spaced horizontally and this affects the amount of space needed between the holders. To test it out, use the "display" mode in openscad to show the whole thing together with eggs in white. Obviously this can't be printed directly, but it saves you from waiting for a result than can't fit together with real eggs.

Note that it prints the holder with a number, because the angle of the arms relative to the column are different! (easiest is to just print holders 1..4 ( or 5 if you want to go that high) and stack them in order on the stand.

I designed the holder to be easy to print, but in practice the eggs sometimes go through the holder, so the bottom layer may have the eggs not entirely on the rings. To solve this, either start with the spacer, or like me, turn the holder upside down (in that case, start with 4, then 3, 2, 1)

update apr 6th; I fixed a few bugs in the scad file. Also added a variant output in a subfolder with a column of 7 sides and 4 eggholders per level. It's a bit trial and error with the parameters to get a version that works without eggs interfering with other eggs or eggholders...
