Ostrich Egg-Bot kit assembled

Hour and a half on a Saturday afternoon saw the Ostrich Egg-Bot completed.  Was quite easy (which is good), nothing out of the ordinary happened.  The final product:

And here it is printing a “mountain scene” I drew in Inkscape on one of my wife’s candle-holder vases:

The end result isn’t that impressive, but you can blame the artist, not the tool 😛

The whole process from assembly to print went off without a hitch, which really impressed me.  Props to the folks over at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories!  In fact, the most difficult thing for me now is to find things to print on… 😉

Ostrich Egg-Bot kit arrived

Quite a space between my last post and now.  Busy finishing my latest game, COD:MW3, learning a lot more about the Maya API (I highly recommend the new book “Maya Python for Games and Film“), and taking an awesome two week cruise through the Panama Canal.

A “shipping the game” present to myself was to pickup the “Ostrich Egg-Bot” kit from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories (the ‘big-brother’ of the “Original Egg-Bot” kit).  Just brought it home, and unboxed:

Hope to get a more interesting blog post on it as it is assembled and working!  My current plans are to create cool lights based around LED’s and etched patterns on mason jars.  We’ll see what happens…
