This EggBot design has a perfect functionality (the same as the original EggBot professional), a perfect cable and microcontroller arrangement, and a perfect cost as it uses a minimum list of parts (with one V-Slot Linear Rail size20mm x 80mm and length 500mm you can build 3 EggBots!)

    Cant believe I missed this!!

    Have always wanted one of those Egg Bot Pro machines!

    Question(s)


    1.) Anyone got one they want to sell?
    2.) Are -all- parts listed in the parts list tab above? (spring, driver board..etc)... looks like (which makes sense) only the open build stuff/links are listed in the parts list?

    I dont have a problem building one myself.. but I always hate 'ordering' as I always feel I will miss something, being as its not my project and am not that familiar with what is needed..etc..

    Going this route... anyone comment on what the FINAL price was? (for everything? minus your egg purchases? lol)

    The Pro's are NOT cheap.. so I am wondering if this is a cost saver? or just a better build approach?

    Thanks

    I have one I may be willing to part with. I can even reprint the parts with a better printer. I hadn't responded earlier because nowhere in your profile do list your geographical location and shipping international is more of an obstacle and may not be worth my time. There is a spot in your profile where you can list it.

    I need to check with my kids first. We did not use it last year, but I would hate to sell without asking them first

    Any estimates on the 'total' price you paid?

    I'm still not fully clear on ALL the things that need to be ordered? (lots of info all over the place, and some of the links in the parts tabs look to be dups? or 404's)

    So In OpenBuild parts.. the rough cost is? Roughly $60 in parts or so?

    Electronics.. Board is another $50 or so?

    Not sure about the 2 steppers ( $50 here.. cheaper on-line I'm sure)..

    How much to the 3D printed parts cost?

    So we're looking at roughly $150-$175 in parts.. brand new?

    Close (guess)timate? :)

    Thanks!

    I would say your estimate is pretty accurate. I had parts and pieces leftover from my CNC build so i do not have a good assessment of what it cost me. He has all the parts purchased with links in the Parts List tab above. The EBB board is $50. I am not sure how much the 3D printed parts are.
