The first full size egg finished printing after 40 hours. This was a fun first attempt and my son loves to kick it around the house. I ordered some rainbow colored filament for the next attempt.
Things to change:
- Decrease wall thickness to no more than 7mm
- Increase diameter of threaded region to at least 5mm
- Increase the weight of the bottom half to help shift the center of gravity. The egg topples over easily.
- Increase the internal dimensions to better fit electronics.
New features for next iteration:
- Add an internal platform to hold the circuit board and motor. This platform should be skeletonized to reduce weight as I want most of the weigh to be near the bottom of the egg.
