This work is an exploratory experiment on breakable design. Cracks with a width of less than 0.2mm are reserved on the egg to control the fragments' shape when broken, simulating a realistic eggshell-breaking effect. The uploaded model includes a breakable outer shell and an internal container for placing gifts. Printing breakpoints are set so that you can manually add gifts at the preset pause points (the height of the items placed should not exceed the height of the model at the breakpoint) or freely set the pause printing time to fit the size of the gift.

The uploaded print example is a result with relatively perfect parameters. In the current algorithm, too many or too few cracks will cause some defects i
