Magnetic Dragon Egg

Thanks to @tonyyoungblood for the original dragon egg model here:

How I modified the original:
I first started with the hollow egg with threads, but that proved more difficult so I switched to the solid egg. I split the model in two pieces and hollowed them out. Then I added the pieces to hold magnets embedded into the plastic. 

Print Instructions:

• Using Bambu .3mf profile I've uploaded
  • pauses are already inserted at the correct layers (there will be two pauses, one for the top of the egg and one for the bottom)
  • once paused, check magnet fit - apply a dab of superglue in the bottom of the holes if magnets are loose (this will prevent them from jumping up and sticking to the nozzle)
  • repeat steps for the 2nd pause
• Using the stl files or another slicer/printer
  • When you slice the file, you must add two pauses to the print just before the layer that seals the internal cylinders (the holes where the magnets are embedded)
  • The 1st pause is added on the last layer before the holes on the top of the egg close

  • 

  • The 2nd pause is added on the last layer before the holes on the bottom of the egg close

  • 

  • Double check to ensure the pauses are in the correct place so printing will be successful
  • Now print, and wait for the pauses
  • once paused, check magnet fit - apply a dab of superglue in the bottom of the holes if magnets are loose (this will prevent them from jumping up and sticking to the nozzle)
  • repeat steps for the 2nd pause

Materials and settings:

• Filament:
  • PLA (any other should work ok, but PLA Silk Dual Color look phenomenal)

  • Recommended for the bottom (build plate only)
• Layer height: 
  • .16mm (other heights should work ok)
• Walls: 
  • 2
• Infill: 
  • 15%

Parts Needed

• 8x - 6x3mm magnets 
• [optional] Super glue to secure magnets
