The Eggbot is an open-source art robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects from the size of a ping pong ball to that of a small grapefruit– roughly 1.25 to 4.25 inches in diameter (3 – 10 cm). The kit is based on the original design by Bruce Shapiro, dating back to 1990.

 

The Eggbot is super adjustable, and is designed to draw on all kinds of things that are normally "impossible" to print on. Not just eggs but ping pong balls, light bulbs, mini pumpkins, and even things like wine glasses– with a bit of work. As seen in above photos, you can make super personalized Christmas ornaments with the Eggbot!

 

The Eggbot is now also available at Seeed Studio!
