What is it?

I created my first eggbot in 2015, that was one of my first Arduino based projects and at that time it was extremely challenging for me. I got it working at least kind of, it wasn’t super precise and the construction was crappy. But I was and still am proud of this project because at that time without fancy tools like 3D printer or laser cutter I was able to build a working machine, using DIY methods and basic hand tools. That’s a great example of my journey in making stuff, looking back at where I was in 2015 and at where I am now (writing this in 2020 during the quarantine) it’s crazy to see how much I improved my skills and knowledge.

This version of eggbot (or CNC egg painter, or egg painting machine) finally works as I wanted my first version to work. Initial idea was to use 28BYJ48 stepper motors but because of high imprecision and play on the shaft, it wasn’t as precise as I wanted to so I redesigned the whole project to get it working with popular NEMA 17. To control everything I used Arduino UNO and A4988 stepper drivers. If you don’t have a laser cutter or a 3D printer you can still make this project by buying from my Tindie store and supporting my work that way!

Keep in mind that right here you are buying only plywood parts cut on a laser and 3D printed parts. You need to buy stepper motors, Arduino, drivers and some other components on your own.

Unique plywood design makes it really easy to build and adjust for painting different objects.

*** IMPORTANT INFO Because of closed borders in USA (coronavirus) there is a problem with shipping :( All priority packages are canceled and can't be shipped to USA (all European countries and most of the world ships normally). The only way that I can ship packages to USA right now is by a very slow shipping method that usually takes more than two months without tracking number. If you still want to purchase this product I will of course ship it as fast as I can, but maybe it's better for you to wait. If you have any questions, just let me now!
