ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Golden Egg for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 31 hours in total.

The cutting of the 3D printing design was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of generated support. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the 3D printable model are connected, it was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the 1.0 FFF/FDM version are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for 1.0 FFF/FDM version in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the "Assembly Video" and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to Golden Egg.

The design is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The 3D printer design's chosen scales are 1:1 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:2 for the DLP/SLA version.
