Eggbot Setup

[jivanta23]

Wouldn't 1800 be half rotation?

[oskay]

@jivanta23 The machine has 3200 steps per revolution, so half of a revolution is 1600 steps.

[EyePodX]

Are you in any way related to the youtube user Kipkay?

[oskay]

@EyePodX He's a friend, but we're not related.

So, can you do multiple passes, with different colors, and make picture perfect Faberge' Eggs?

[oskay]

@whotoinfinity Multiple passes, different colors yes. Picture perfect? Hard to say.

[Spinnygrass]

oskay- Great video! Makes me really want one of these to play with. Have you tried rigging up something like a pencil drill with a cutting bit?

[oskay]

@Spinnygrass I haven't personally tried a drill, but we're working on a getting a diamond engraving attachment ready as an option. Works nicely on glass balls and things like that.

[Spinnygrass]

@ben80012

Easter man! I would of loved one of these as a kid... Plus, nothing stops you from doing other round objects I imagine...

[oskay]

@Spinnygrass Yes, works on all kinds of round objects. Light bulbs, golf balls, and so on. Drew on a mini-pumpkin, too. :)

how much is this!!!

[gaussman08]

11:56 to see it working

[oskay]

@gaussman08 This is definitely a tutorial-- filled with boring detail -- not a demo.

There *are* a few good videos of the eggbot working at maker faire, if you want to see it working:

Youtube videos: YgB-vz3Rkdk or zUzD0mp0wo8 or i3oF2VOqU_w

[Lefkada18]

[master777999]

That's pretty cool lol

[t1mmy13]

X11? Come on..

[oskay]

@t1mmy13 I use Inkscape so much that I don't even see that anymore. They've been promising a "native" version for years now. I'll believe it when I see it.

[chunnygoat]

i just subscribed to order one its $195 buck!

[H3lloSE]

@chunnygoat 195? i cost 100 bucks and you can make me do whatever you want!

[chunnygoat]

nice need more vids oskay!

[oskay]

@chunnygoat I'm not sure that anyone should be watching this one. :P I couldn't find any video site that seemed like a better match, though.

[PivotAX]

Wow maybe I should get this, I mean after all..

Chuck Norris uses this to make tattoos!
