Learn how to decorate eggs using the EggLathe, inspired by the renowned Egg-Bot from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. The .cst file is generated via Cut Studio, a software that sends vectors to the laser cutter and can be opened with Inkscape. To create your design, formulate it in Open Office, adjust the sizes and arrangement of parts, export as a .jpg, then import into Cut Studio for cutting lines. Browse photos and videos on Flickr for inspiration. Follow these steps: cut sides and ends, secure parts using machine screws, washers, and nuts; attach motor and spindle, ensuring proper egg holding; place the egg and power on the motor to draw with a pen/pencil/paintbrush. Profit!
