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/hvw1rSKFOVa

The 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.
