I needed to create a "large" easter egg for my cousin's 3-year-old daughter. The egg had to be able to be opened to store candy inside. In this refinement the open and close feature of the egg has been refined. The egg itself looks more like an egg aswell. This version also contains a printable “bowl” which the egg can stand in.

This refinement is designed using Fusion 360 instead of OnShape like last year. The dimensions of the egg is the following: 149mm X 194mm X 75mm.

Print time: Male and female parts: Roughly 12-13 hours, but can be sped up by lowering infill, etc. Bowl: 7-8 hours, but can be sped up by lowering infill, etc

PRINT INFORMATION:

I printed my easter egg so the hole is facing the build plate. I used normal supports NOT ORGANIC with a 0.2 (detachable) gap to make it easy to remove for the male and female parts. The bowl does NOT need support. I recommend using the variable layer height feature in PrusaSlicer. I used in “quality/speed” a value around 0.15 and pressed the “adaptive” button. This makes the rounding of the egg prettier.
