Easter Egg Painter

The Egg-ceptional Utility to Transform Ordinary Eggs into Works of Art

Say goodby to messy hands with this egg painter. The holder is equipped with two gears, allowing you to rotate the egg and paint it from all sides. All you need for assembly is a rubber band, nothing more! Integrated into the base are six pots for paint and a brush holder left and right.

Parts Needed

All you need is a rubber band with a diameter of approximately 4 cm.

Assembly

(note: please click on the image above if the animation does not play automatically.)

• Remove the supports carefully.
• Insert the short rod into the hole on the left side of the base.
• Attach one of the gears to fixate the rod. The gears are press-fit. If it does not go in well, turn it around. Sometimes due to elephant's foot one side of the hole is tighter than the other.
• Insert the long rod on the right side of the base.
• Take the wheel with the two notches and put it onto the long rod from the right side. The notches should face outwards.
• Attach the second gear to the long rod. Again, turn the gear around if the fit it too tight.
• Take a rubber band of about 4 cm.
• Guide it through the two notches of the wheel.
• Then, attach the two ends of the rubber band to the cantilever-like sections from the base.
• The rubber band pulls the long rod to the inside with enough force to hold an egg.
• If the force is not sufficient, take a shorter rubber band or loop it around more.
• If the tolerances of your print are good, you should be able to turn both rods using the gears.

Printing Instructions

The model does not require any special filament. Regular PLA should be enough. I took quite some care to optimize print settings. The rods need to be printed in vertical direction so that they are perfectly round. The tree supports should give enough stability.
