Introducing my rendition of the dragon egg.

A spikey organic looking egg sculpted by hand in blender. 

I made 2 versions. 1 version is just the solid egg if youre just looking for a pretty decorative egg. The other version is the egg divided into a bottom part and a top lid to use as a container.
The lid just sits on top as the interlocking spikes prevented any sort of scewing or clicking and I didn't want to just cut it straight in half and end up with a seam. If this is something people would like i could still make this so please feel free to request.

Printing:

The solid egg and the bottom part aren't hard to print, i used supports for the lowest spikes as  they overhang just a bit too much but other than that they print very easily.

The top lid however is a bit of a more challenging print as they start on only sharp spikes. Therefor they will have to be sufficiently supported. I had trouble with the supports generated by cura for some reason but supports generated by prucaslicer worked without any trouble.

printed PLA at 0.16 with supports.

looking forward to see what colorful eggs you end up printing
