Now there's a good way to make an egg! I can't wait to see what it looks like with both sides completed and attached. How long did it take to print the one side? |

Love the moulds, I take it you're going to mould the final product as a thin urethane shell with some foam or other kind of filler to make it sturdy? |

Eggs are done in black gel coat, fibreglass matt and polyester resin. Talcum powder mixed into resin when needing to thicken it up or make it stick to a obscure surface.

I do. But not just yet. ill have to do it in a flexible rubber or polyurethane so i can fold it. Otherwise ill just cut the flaps off and re glue them open and sculpt the fold |
