@Franny500 - does it need to *look* like egg crate? Can it be brown? If it only needs to *look* like that then try wood filled pla. Several companies make this filament.
If you want it to *feel* like egg carton then I recommend you 3dprint permeable molds and then use actual paper pulp to make your finished part. This is pretty easy to do I suspect. People have posted about it:

and Cura makes it easy to print lots of holes in your print for the water to drain out - for example you can set the infill percent to control "hole size" and turn off top/bottom layers.

Thanks for the info. So I will go the "cooking way", and just experiment. :) The shrinking might be a bit of a problem though, as the silicone castings should keep their shape and fit: th
