#AirQualityEgg

thingiverse

The Air Quality Egg project, a creation of open-source enthusiasts, is currently raising funds on Kickstarter and has already exceeded its target in just four days. The physical prototype for the egg, designed to house electronic hardware that communicates with sensors outside windows or doors, is 3D printable, featuring magnet slots. However, the team is considering injection molding for the final product as they need to produce over 400 eggs. They are open to suggestions on alternative connections to magnets, such as threads or snaps, and different forms for the egg, including a flat bottom. The Rhino files for the digital model in various stages are available on their wiki, with instructions to contact chao.albert@gmail.com for other file types. If you print an Egg, send pictures to the same email or post them on the project's Google group. The prototype has two holes at the back for an Ethernet cord and a power cord, and the team is open to using free software for modeling.
