I was trying to do golfballs and they just didn't have enough power. So I built a new machine with NEMA 17 steppers, Pololu A4988 drivers and a few other features like limit switches. I wrote my own code to draw primative objects on the golfballs and it worksBIGMAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939994464389499287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485549003242897389.post-20324154351553269452018-09-27T03:49:08.093+02:002018-09-27T03:49:08.093+02:00Thanks for sharing your great eggbot!

As I mentioned above, after closer inspection, I realized that you put the servo on the right side and I had it on the left. Thanks to the wonder of CURA I printed 3D printed a vertical pen arm in "mirror", put the servo on that new part and viola, everything is working.BIGMAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939994464389499287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485549003242897389.post-42395451260973851412018-01-28T22:15:20.869+01:002018-01-28T22:15:20.869+01:00Hi Bruce, it is not Easter at the moment, so I am ...Hi Bruce, it is not Easter at the moment, so I am not sure that I should answer questions on this. :-)<br /><br />Oh, well. I think there is an option in the Eggbot Extension in Inkscape. Go to Eggbot Control and then to the "Options" tab. The first option reverses the pen motor motion.<br /><br />Good luck!Tom F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17222198163820671255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485549003242897389.post-15142169425697393782018-01-25T20:04:23.185+01:002018-01-25T20:04:23.185+01:00Oh, now I see why.

I couln't get things to work until I put your eggbot.py file in .config/inkscape/extensions instead of usr/share/inkscape/extensions. I'm running Linux 16.04. Once if figured out how to change text to paths it works, EXCEPT the servo for the pen works opposite. Any suggestions on what to change to fix that?<br />Thanks,<br />BIGMAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939994464389499287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485549003242897389.post-33773045128312323552017-09-01T10:19:34.479+02:002017-09-01T10:19:34.479+02:00No problem.
