Who doesn't want to find an emerging facehugger on their desk everyday? I do...um not really tho. But it's still cool.

Uh oh time to grab a facehugger…

Thought I would make an Alien egg (ovomorph) tissue box holder. Designed to use minimal to no support. I decided to print with critical support on for my first print of this model and it turned out great, requiring very little support. This is quite a big model (24.8 cm x 23.4 x 24.8 cm) and hefty with the final filament total coming in at 632.73 g. 

I made some mistakes in blender (as I am very novice) and caused the model to have a tight fit on my 20.8 cm x 21.3 cm tissue box. It fits okay but does extend 2-5 mm depending how I jam the box in. The box still functions properly and the facehuggers emerge as expected.

Finished model-Sanded and textured with a Dremel, primed with black spray paint, white zenithal, and painted with vallejo paints. Thanks for looking! 

Update 5/10-New file with fixed tissue holder opening and some “improved” texture. It still could use some work. I haven't printed this file.
