Egg holder with legs, a playful sturdy Easter print

An egg holder with legs turns a plain boiled egg into something that makes people smile before they’ve even picked up a spoon. It comes in two versions, one with chicken legs and one with bunny legs, so you can pick the character that fits your table.

You can also print both and let people choose. The idea is simple: the egg sits on top, the legs do the rest. It’s a small object with a big personality, the kind of thing that turns an ordinary breakfast into an Easter one without any extra decorating.

What an egg holder with legs looks like on the table

Printed up, it looks like a tiny character standing at attention, egg balanced on its shoulders like a hat. The chicken version leans into a farmyard look, while the bunny version reads more like a spring mascot.

Either one works as a single centerpiece per plate. A mixed set of both styles on the table gives everyone something slightly different to talk about over breakfast, since the legs are the main design element and the shape reads clearly even from across the room.

It’s not a fussy sculpture, it’s a functional stand with just enough character to earn a second look. That’s really the whole design brief in one line: stand an egg up, give it some personality while doing it.

Chicken or bunny — does it matter which you print first?

Both versions are built the same way and both come with the same file options, so the choice comes down to which character you like better. If you’re printing for a group, the natural answer is to make some of each.

Chicken legs suit a rustic breakfast table, bunny legs lean more directly into Easter morning. Neither one is more complex to print than the other, so there’s no practical reason to favor one beyond personal taste.

How it prints

Both versions are provided as STL files along with predefined print profiles, so you don’t have to work out settings from scratch. There are separate profiles for single-color and multicolor printing, both included with the model.

A 3MF version is also available, set up specifically for Bambu Lab printers. Whether you’re running a single-extruder setup or a multicolor system, there’s already a profile ready for the job, which matters more for a small decorative piece like this than it does for something you’ll only print once.

Files, licensing, and where to find it

The egg holder with legs is a free download on MakerWorld, and it’s also posted on Thangs and on Patreon, so there’s no single point of failure if one platform is down or you already have an account elsewhere.

If you want to sell physical prints of it, Sektor 7 Studios offers a commercial license for that purpose, kept separate from the standard file download. There’s also a private-use license that unlocks additional premium models from the same studio, worth a look if this one turns out to be your kind of print.

Where it fits

This isn’t a shelf piece, it’s a table piece. It belongs next to the plates on Easter morning, or really any morning you want a boiled egg to feel like an occasion rather than a chore.

Because the two leg styles are easy to tell apart at a glance, a set of them doubles as a simple way to mark whose egg is whose at a shared breakfast. It also works as a small gift alongside a dozen eggs or an Easter basket, something a bit different from a painted egg.

For a collection built around Easter prints, an egg holder with legs earns its keep by getting used at the table rather than just sitting near one.
