The EggBot Robot Pro Kit is a total re-imagining of the EggBot, designed for rigidity, ease of use, and faster setup. Its major components are solid aluminum, CNC machined in the USA, and powder coated or anodized. It's sturdy as can be. The frame has an open front, for greatly improved accessibility and visibility while you are plotting. The most common mechanical adjustments are faster with bicycle-style quick releases, and repositioned thumbscrews for easier access. And, it comes fully assembled and ready to use. Assuming that you've installed the software first, you can be up and printing within minutes of opening the box.

The EggBot Pro fits spherical and egg-shaped objects from roughly the size of a gum ball to that of a light bulb about 1 to 3.5 inches in diameter (2.5 - 9 cm). Perfect for ping pong balls, golf balls, chicken eggs, and similarly sized objects. The movements of the pen and egg motors are controlled by high-torque precision stepping motors, and the pen lift mechanism is a quiet and reliable servo motor. The included EiBotBoard v2.0 (EBB) driver board uses 16× microstepping to give a resolution of 3200 steps/revolution in both axes.

To operate the EggBot Pro, you will need a reasonably modern computer with an available USB port (Mac, Windows or Linux), plus internet access to download necessary software. The EggBot is normally controlled through a set of open-source extensions to Inkscape, the excellent, popular and free vector graphics program.

The standard pen holder included with the EggBot kit is designed to fit various art pens including Sharpie Ultra-Fine Point and Sharpie Fine Point pens. However, it can actually fit almost any pen of similar size.
