Saturday eggbotting

Eggbotting “Open Space Aarhus”

I measured the egg using the probe.

Create the path in in inkscape using gcodetools.

In a postprocess i first split the path in to short segments, then I linearly interpolate based on the measured data to follow the surface.

In this eggsperiment I used G64 to allow the machine some tolerance in following the path to gain a better feedrate. The result were at significantly different sound from the steppers, it sounds more ‘sick’. But it worked

The next step is to try to make TSP art on the eggs, Nikolai Tesla made from a single line , Evil Mad scientists have nice guide: http://wiki.evilmadscience.com/TSP_art
