Huevardo Eggbot process
Week 10! We've made it halfway through the Fab Academy curriculum (who would have guessed ๐ ). This week's challenge is a collaborative effort (but individual challenges are still available ๐).
This week's assignment was to create a machine that included: Mechanism + Actuation + Automation + Application
Which mechanical pieces are machine-made (CNC, Laser Cutting, 3D Printing, Vinyl Plotter...) ๐คฉ And, of course, it must function. ๐ฏ
We choose to build an Eggbot, a machine with a rotation and tilt mechanism, among the possibilities available. ๐ฅ
We gathered several pre-existing projects, primarily those uploaded on the Autodesk Instructables site.
We mentioned the materials and components required, as well as the machines that would be employed in production:
