Raw eggs seem to work fine in the Egg-Bot, but you have to be ready for when they break. I kept telling kids to not drop them, put them in their pockets, or leave them in their parent’s cars. I ended up printing almost every egg, and I gave a lot of them away. The first time I demo’d the Egg-Bot I ran to the store, bought 54 eggs and headed to Milwaukee Makerspace to get set up. If it’s an all day affair, I may buy 48 or more eggs, and if it’s a smaller affair, a dozen or two will suffice. I tend to buy white eggs at the nearest grocery store. We’re mainly going to cover an actual demo. If that’s not the case, visit the Egg-Bot wiki and get it all working. We’ll assume you’ve already got the Egg-Bot up and running, connected to a computer with a USB cable, and Inkscape and the Egg-Bot extension is installed and working. I’ll also offer up a few items I’ve found useful later in this post.Īnd of course you don’t have to draw on eggs, but I tend to prefer them for a number of reasons. This is the most basic list of things you need to get the Egg Bot drawing on eggs.
