DESCRIPTION
Behold! The new and improved EggBot Pro. Hatched from the brilliant minds at Evil Mad
Scientist, this new and improved version of the EggBot will have you painting spherical-egglike
objects in no time.
The Eggbot is designed to draw on all kinds of things that are normally impossible to print on.
Light bulbs, grapefruits, wine glasses, or eggs (obviously) will all work with the Egg-Bot Kit!
The EggBot Pro is a total re-imagining of the Original Egg-Bot Deluxe Kit, designed for rigidity,
ease of use, and faster setup. The extra durable EggBot Pro has most of its parts constructed
with solid aluminum, so it won’t wear out on you. The work area is wide open making it so you
can reach in to tweak your project — no more cramped adjustments!
You will have the Eggbot Pro ready to print in a couple of hours. No soldering required. You'll
also need a computer with an available USB port (Mac, Windows or Linux), plus internet access
to download assembly instructions and necessary software.
The Eggbot is normally controlled through a set of open-source extensions to Inkscape, the
excellent, popular and free vector graphics program.
Basic operation is much like that of a printer driver: you import or make a drawing in Inkscape,
and use the extensions to plot your drawing onto whatever object you've mounted in the
Eggbot. It's all handled through an easy to use graphical user interface, and works cleanly on
Mac, Windows and Linux. The movements of the pen and egg motors are controlled by high-
torque precision stepping motors, and the pen lift mechanism is a quiet and reliable servo
motor.
For tons more information, please check out the Egg-Bot Pro webpage and Egg-Bot FAQ
websites.
The kit is based on the original design by Bruce Shapiro, dating back to 1990. Our version, the
"Egg-Bot 2.0," is a modern and friendly update, designed with the assistance of Bruce and his
team.
