This tricky egg has a hidden latch mechanism that will keep it securely closed until you twist a portion of the base.
All parts can be printed without supports.
Assembly is the same as the original Twist Lock Trick Box. Watch this video for the complete process.
Make sure to pre-tension the spring
This will assure that the latches have a strong hold on the base.
Make sure to glue the spring peg to the bottom shell
If you do not fully secure these parts, the mechanism may become detached while in a locked state. I recommend using either super glue or 3D Gloop!, but hot glue can work as well.
