MyPrinterandMe; Dragon Egg Die Boxes
A 3d modeling and printing project of mine to design small dragon egg-shaped boxes to hold die sets for D&D games. I used CAD software (SolidWorks, later FreeCad) to produce the basic shape of the egg and the interlocking scales between the top and bottom halves, and Blender to add the rest of the scales for a more natural-looking effect. I printed the eggs on my home 3d printer and painted them with a variety of of colors and patterns.

The green egg came out as one of the best to represent the chromatic versions.
On the metallic side, I drybrushed the colors of the base metal's oxide onto the eggs to indicate wear and tear.

An alternate color variant, marbled to match one of my regularly used die sets. Drybrushing applied in the color of the numbers on the dice.

I've continued to experiment with different color patterns and updated designs.
