The Scaley Dragon Egg is the perfect home for your favourite 3D printed dragon! As my first organic design it features a super scaley texture, overhangs that can be printed for a smooth finish, and an addictingly easy to open and close thread ensuring a perfect alignment every time!

100% scale fits a Baby Cinderwing3D dragon or two Tadlings or a 65% Articulated Crystal Dragon by Saber3D (thanks to @GenghisKhan39)

150% scale fits a full size Cinderwing3D Crystal Dragon

200% scale fits a 125% Crystal Dragon (thanks to @BloodyBooger)

110% scale fits a a 75% Sabre3D Crystal Dragon (thanks to @kahems)

If you find what size fits other models, please comment and I'll update the description with credits to you.

I want to thank SprocketStudios for the inspiration. I found their design and loved it, but needed to fix some overhangs so I designed my own from scratch after learning Fusion360.

For those asking, the dragon picture is from Cinderwing3D and are available here

Turned out great

@SimpleSol3D

Nice colour. Is that a tricolour or dual?

@lauriefamily

I can’t tell, do the translucent colors line up.

Perfect! Printed at 150% to hold a full size crystal dragon.

The designer has replied

@HardwareMaster

Did you need a support for the top portion inside?

@flightoffancy

Replying to @HardwareMaster :

Nope! I got one little dangling piece of filament at the very top but it bridged nicely and closed.

@SimpleSol3D

Looks great! If you play with the threads a few times you should find it seats to a perfect alignment with the scales and has an audible click as it aligns.

@UnhappyDan

Beautiful and fits together great. But the bottom layer came off even after being incredibly careful removing it from the plate. The same thing happened with the same Bambu filament on a different print at the same layer height. Other prints, no problems. Not sure why. Bambu Silk Dual Color. Also, there is an odd finish layer on the top, but maybe that is normal? Gonna try a different type and see what happens.

@SimpleSol3D

Hi @UnHappyDan, I've found some silk PLA filaments are super soft and have poor layer adhesion. Haven't used Bambu Silk yet to say for sure. Thanks for your feedback and happy printing!

@UnhappyDan

Replying to @SimpleSol3D :

Thanks for the quick reply! I love the print; I think it is the filament, too. Keep up the great work!

All is great!, although a full sized dragon is a lil bit if a pain to fit, it does fit. I think I'll make the next egg a percent or two larger.

@ATG007

I thought same 100% dragon is too fidelity to squeeze it in

Printed this for my grandson in PLA Glow in the Dark green. Came out very nice. Threads fit well. Nice job to the modeler.

@jodv409

Replying to @SimpleSol3D :

This came out perfect. First one I made at 100% but didn’t quite fit the dragon. so up scaled it to 110% and the dragon fitted lovely. And it aligned perfectly when closed using the tri color filament. Great job on the design.

@SimpleSol3D

What dragon is that? I would like to update my description with this info and will provide you with the credit for finding the right size.

@kahems

Replying to @SimpleSol3D :

The dragon I used was from Articulated Crystal Dragon by Saber3D model 55289 it is scaled to 75% scale which was the original size from him.

@SimpleSol3D

I have been doing this with all my prototypes and wondered how long it would take for someone else to figure that out. Glad you like my design!
