Summary
Just like the original Eggbot coordinate demo plot but expanded to a full 1000 pixels tall just to see what this bot can do. I printed it successfully on a lightbulb but a. the pen arm gets awfully close to the headstock so be careful and b. I modified the file in Illustrator (oh how I loathe Inkscape) so it prints a little out of order.
Instructions
- Open this SVG file in Inkscape
- Open the Eggbot Control extension (Extensions > EggBot > Eggbot Control ...)
- In the Options tab of the Eggbot Control extension, ensure that the "Start with pen centered" option is checked
- Click the "Apply" button to save the setting from 3 above
- Position your pen over your egg where you want the midline (y=500) of the Inkscape plot to be - the pen should point to the center of the object which is not always straight down
- In the Plot tab of the Eggbot Control extension, click the "Apply" button
- Watch the plot and be careful not to break anything
