FAIRY HOUSES - EASTER EGG FAIRY HOUSE (Patreon)

Hello my beloved friends! I hope you are all doing great!

Some say "better late than never", and that's a bit what I had to resign myself to about the Easter fairy house!

Honestly, i've been working on the design since the first days of the month. But sometimes i overthink and overdesign something that's suppose to be simple, and that's exactly what happened in this case.

I have made designs over designs, trying as best I could to come out with something very different. Unfortunately, by overcomplicating things, I ran into failure after failure.

Multipart eggs with stripes, eggs with separate parts too hard to print or to glue, complicated assemblies and parts to thin to be gluable together are some of the problems that I experienced with this design.

After putting everything aside in order to take a step back and think about my possible options, I came to the conclusion to keep everything simple and keep in the same line of ideas as the other fairy houses.

So its finally here my friends, and i would like to apologize for the delay.

The project is almost identical to the other fairy houses.

-All parts are support free (but if you have some troubles with your overhangs, i suggest you put tree supports for the egg)

-All parts are placed in the right orientation for printing.

-Color coded names, with quantities and fuzzy skin mentionned (when applicable).

-3mf file included for the Bambulab owners.

-Complete instructions included with exploded views.

One thing i really love about this design, is how the bricks are creating some texture when the egg is illuminated with a battery operated tealight.

You will also notice that the base is a little bit bigger than usual. Its because of the shape of the egg. I needed more place than usual to add some trees and the hedge around the base.

I really love how the edge creates a new dimension to the fairy houses and i will use it for sure in the next fairy houses.

Regarding the flower (prior gluing) you can heat it gently and shape it around the egg if you prefer to have a curved flower.

In any case if you have some questions, feel free to send me a private message.

Hope you like it friends! Have fun!
