The 3d model of the golden egg you receive from Balbina the Goose when completing the ingame quest Duck, Duck, Goosed! in the pc video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, its expansion Blood and Wine, made high-res and 3d printable for a less video game/low poly look.
- the original 3d model has been extracted with the official The Witcher 3 REDkit modding tools
- low-poly LOD meshes have been removed
- low-res material with its texture has been removed
- scaled the model to its actual ingame size (12,4cm x 12,4cm x 17cm), set scale to 1, set rotation to zero and set rotation to be front facing
- subdivideded the low poly mesh to 18,432 polygons
- optimized the mesh to remove all non-manifold edges
- edited the base of the egg flat so it can stand and be printed with less issues
Notes for 3d printing from my testing, see uploaded images:
- optimize your 3d print for a more beautiful look, slow down the print speed, use smaller layer height, I used 0.1mm
- the print must use supports if your printer isn't able to print overhangs correctly
- use more walls, I used three instead of the standard two in my slicer application Creality Print, the 3d model has been printed on a Creality K1C
- my print was stable enough with 5% Gyroid infill, use concentric printing pattern
- I recommend to print the model in one session without multiple parts
- my Slicer apps sadly crashed trying to use it but I would try vase mode for printing
