Description

The Eggbot is an open-source art robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects from the size of a

ping pong ball to that of a small grapefruit-- roughly 1.25 to 4.25 inches in diameter (3 - 10 cm).

The Eggbot is super adjustable, and is designed to draw on all kinds of things that are normally

"impossible" to print on. Not just eggs but ping pong balls, light bulbs, mini pumpkins, and even things like

wine glasses-- with a bit of work. See the photos above for some examples of personalized golf balls,

christmas ornaments, light bulbs, and (yes) eggs.

The Eggbot chassis is made of tough fiberglass, with integrated heat sinks for the included motors. The pen

and egg motors are high-torque precision stepping motors, and the pen lift mechanism is a quiet and

reliable servo motor.

The Eggbot kit is easy to assemble in a couple of hours, and only requires a couple of basic tools like

miniature Phillips-head and flathead screwdrivers. No soldering required. You'll also need a recent-vintage

computer with an available USB port (Mac, Windows or Linux), plus internet access to download assembly

instructions and necessary software.

The standard pen holder included with the EggBot kit is designed to fit various art pens including Sharpie

Ultra Fine Point pens, one pen is included. It can fit almost any pen of similar size.
