Twisty Dragon Egg | 12-Segment | Print-in-Place

This Dragon Egg doesn’t simply twist — it blooms open into a mesmerizing mechanical structure made of 12 interlocking segments .

Pull gently to unleash a smooth spiraling expansion as the egg transforms from a compact dragon egg into an elegant articulated shape. Guide it back with one effortless motion and enjoy the satisfying kinetic movement again and again.

Designed as a print-in-place model , it comes off the build plate fully assembled and ready to play.

This 12-segment version was designed with a smoother and more rounded shape, giving it a softer and friendlier appearance compared to the 16-segment version. The gentle curves create a more classic dragon egg look while still providing the same fun and satisfying transformation experience.
