It turned out that some extra weight was needed at the bottom of the egg. Side effect is that it makes it a bit more difficult to get the treats out for the cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor that I added version 2a \u0026amp; 2b.

Now the egg comes mostly to rest perfectly upright because the bottom is slightly flattened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith version 2a, the intention is to add a pause after printing 8mm to apply the nut and then continue printing. The nut is then completely invisible embedded in the egg. In version 2b, the hexagonal recess has been extended to the bottom so that the nut can be applied afterwards by squeezing in and gluing. (the nut will be visible). For both versions, the internal ball is also present. It is not necessary to apply a steel ball or marble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor both versions 2a \u0026amp; 2b also use \u003cstrong\u003e100% infill\u003c\/strong\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“How do I get that treat out?”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Wait, if I hit it?”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Nope... not that easy..”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Why doesn't that egg just stay there and wobble all the time?”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Wait...
