Description

Who doesn't love Mario?

He has always taken different forms, but this time he chose to become an egg!

For assembly, refer to the attached PDF instructions. Some parts must be blocked with a drop of glue to ensure correct functionality. Be careful!! Don't add too much glue,This could compromise the movements.

Remember to align the slot on the tube with the lever before gluing the tube:

To insert the hinge, use a little bit of force, first insert it from one side and then push it from the other:

The last important detail to take into consideration is the closing joint of the egg, the piece has a small exposed part to facilitate interlocking, glue it in the right way:

When Easter ends, you can use the tube as a candy dispenser! or you can make up a game and use it as a cannon:

And that's it! Actually i printed a monocolor version of the Egg. But you can find a Multicolor version in the print profile.

ENJOY!

EDIT: 25/04/2024 tube and wall modified to avoid the use of glue, adjusted the little gap between the wall and the tube.

Printed this in the standard .2mm profile to save a TON of time. Overall it was a fun print and the kids enjoyed it. I do wish that the pipe was a twist lock instead of intending to be glued. I chose to not glue it in case there was an issue with the mechanism, but that makes using it a 2 handed job to hold the pipe steady. Egg can rotate in the pipe causing it to stick easily Base can be slightly higher to hide slot in pipe front Should include head with eyes for more than 4 color prints

Thank you for printing! The 0.12 profile is only for the egg, to avoid to see the layers. the pipe, the wall and the mechanism are in 0.2 layer height. the mechanism is "kids tested" and so far it has always withstood intensive use, so you can glue it without problems. I can adjust the little gap and add an interlocking sistem anyway. i decided to keep eyes separated to help those who can't print 5 colors. Thank you so much for your feedback and for the improvement suggestions.
