EggBot Pro – Open-source Art Robot

  • BrandEvil Mad Science

Description

The EggBot Pro is a complete re-imagining of the EggBot, designed for rigidity, ease of use, and faster setup.

Its major components are solid aluminum, CNC machined in the USA, and powder coated or anodized. It's sturdy as can be.

The frame has an open front, for greatly improved accessibility and visibility while you are plotting. The most common mechanical adjustments are faster with bicycle-style quick releases and repositioned thumbscrews for easier access.

And, it comes fully assembled and ready to use. Assuming that you've installed the software first, you can be up and printing within minutes of opening the box.

The EggBot Pro fits spherical and egg-shaped objects from roughly the size of a gumball to that of a light bulb – about 1 to 3.5 inches in diameter (2.5 – 9 cm). Perfect for ping pong balls, golf balls, chicken eggs, and similarly sized objects.

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. The included EiBotBoard v2.0 (EBB) driver board uses 16× micro stepping to give a resolution of 3200 steps/revolution in both axes.

A universal-input plug-in power supply is included with the EggBot kit, as is a USB cable and one black Sharpie marker.

To operate the EggBot Pro, you will need a reasonably modern computer with an available USB port (Mac, Windows or Linux), plus internet access to download the necessary software.

The EggBot is usually controlled through a set of open-source extensions to Inkscape, the excellent, popular and free vector graphics program.

The 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 standard pen holder included with the EggBot kit is designed to fit various art pens including Sharpie Ultra Fine Point and Sharpie Fine Point pens. However, it can fit almost any pen of similar size.

You can even fit a lot of things that aren't pens. One example: We offer a diamond point engraving tool for EggBot (shown here), capable of etching and engraving hard materials like glass, stone, and ceramic.

It?s working seamlessly with the Inkscape extension.
    Great Admiration to the EMSL team to come up with such an amazing piece of art.

    Wat een geweldig ding!

    Ik ben al eigenaar van een Eggbot en dus bekend met het concept. Een geweldig apparaat waar inmiddels al hele klassen plezier van hebben mogen beleven. Maar deze verbeterde versie overweeg ik toch nog ****. Ziet er zeer robuust uit (de normale is stevig maar schuift makkelijk weg, wat als je een hele klas wilt bedienen toch best vervelend kan zijn) en de prijs is nogal dicht in de buurt van het kleine broertje. Nu alleen nog iemand vinden die de oude wil overnemen...
