3D Printed Egg Rotator for Chicken Egg Incubator

thingiverse

A while back I had an idea about creating a 3D printable egg rotator for people that have DIY or simple chicken egg incubators at home. I found many projects online and different designs that required you to go purchase parts from a hardware store. My design requires no extra parts other than the servo and some screws. The entire thing was sketched out on paper and went through many iterations before I settled on a final design. It currently can hold up to 6 eggs at a time. In the future, I will incorporate this egg rotator into a fully automated open-source chicken incubator. Please read through print settings. Most parts were printed with some sort of support to limit the amount of warping that can happen without a heated print bed. I ended up putting a layer of electrical tape on the spindles to improve grip while rotating the eggs. You will need to print: - 1x Servo Bracket - 1x Rack_MaleSide - 1x Rack_FemaleSide - 1x Support Side Finished - 1x Servo Side Finished - 1x Threaded_Gear - 2x Threaded_Gear_and_Rod - 6x Threaded_Spindle You can also increase the number of eggs it can hold by adding more spindles.
