Description

Easter and finishing Portal 2 inspired me to make this basic turret template for use with the Egg-Bot. The back of the design has one of the famous quotes by everyone's favorite, child-like home defense product.

Watch it being printed here: youtube.com/watch?v=U4bl18mVOv4

Instructions

Print as-is using the Egg-Bot using black outlines. The eye should be red--I simply filled that in after the fact using a red sharpie.

At the end of printing there will be an error related to some text that hasn't been converted to the path. I can't find this text! Mysterious...

Wow! Great idea! Time to pull out the EggBot from the mess and get the driver to work with InkScape. I was hoping that there would be some more EggBot designs, but I hadn't even thought of a turret! Great work!

(I'm the one who asked them to add EggBot as a tool, sorry to brag)

Turret redemption lines are not rides! Please exit immediately!

I'm different....

How did you get it to draw the outlines foward then back (double drawn lines)? Extra paths?

Nice simple design, great job.

You know, that's a really good question...that I don't have the answer to. Truth be told that was unexpected behavior, but I liked the extra boldness it gave to the lines so I didn't dig too deep. Note also that for the triplicated lines on the side it only draws them once.

This was my first design, so perhaps someone with more experience can explain why this is happening.

Thanks for the comment! :-D

Now just figure out a way to make it open up and shoot people when they walk in front of it.. :)

This is great BTW

Awesome! Now you just need to design printable legs to complete the look

I suppose that means there's a Makerbot in my future!
