Hardware reference design

The Egg-Bot project is an open-source hardware+software project.

• Egg-Bot code is hosted at our Google Code Project, EggBotCode.

• The EiBotBoard is documented at www.schmalzhaus.com.

For the rest, you can download the Egg-bot hardware reference design here (170 kB .zip archive).

The reference design includes the following files:

• Bill of materials, CSV format
• 1/4" plywood pen-arm parts, Inkscape SVG
• 1/4" Poplar pen-arm part, Inkscape SVG
• 0.020" delrin part, Inkscape SVG
• 0.010" acetal copolymer, Inkscape SVG
• Eggbot chassis "acrylic" reference design, Inkscape SVG
• Eggbot chassis original design, gEDA/PCB

The wood and plastic parts can be cut by standard laser-cutting processes, or other machine tools at your discretion. The Egg-Bot production chassis is made from fiberglass in a PCB process; a reference version is also provided in case you would like to make one from laser-cut acrylic (or other materials) instead.

The Egg-bot was designed in Inkscape, with assistance from gEDA/PCB.
