There is something growing inside my Dragon’s Egg! Scary!

Egg-design by @Virtox . Thanks!

Printed on @Ultimaker in Clear PLA. The big eggs took 17.5h to print at 0.12mm layer height.

Very cool. Sand the LEDs and put some cotton around them to diffuse the light, then add a nice heartbeat fade in/out for extra amazingness!

@Carlton_Dodd , that is the plan. Right now there is a 60 led @Adafruit_Industries NeoPixel in there. Planning on replacing them with 8 or 16 NeoPixel ledbars instead. The fading is there already!

Very cool, Peter! Is the egg .stl available?

That’s gorgeous! What material are you printing with, @Peter_Parnes ?

edit: Clear PLA - somehow I missed that in the original post.

Nice work!

By the way, the small net-egg is printed in @faberdasherry Fire Truck Red.
