A small box in the shape of a scaled dragon egg with a hinge and latch that snaps shut.
This is a remix of [Tiny Dragon Egg Box by GreyFluffs](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4798791) and [Dragon ornaments by Syxiaolu94](https://makerworld.com/en/models/168710) with some modifications to make them sturdier, so that it survives the first contact with kids. Also I wanted to print it in silk filament, which looks shiny and awesome but has terrible layer adhesion, so the original model broke when trying to close it for the first time after assembly.
The eggs you see on the photos were used as giveaways on a kid's birthday party. Sadly two hinges broke before I could tell the kids to be cautious when closing the lid, but I was able to glue them back together with superglue (CA glue).
#### Update v2:
- Improved custom supports for the top half. Removed *"dragonegg-sturdier-top-with-supports.stl"* (see below for instructions).
#### Printing Settings:
- (the 3mf file contains these
