      This is my build of Niko's (@gianakop) Egg Painter. Special thanks to @Slobberknocker for graciously printing out some parts needed for my build. I am hesitant to post this build log, but perhaps my BOM might be useful to others. Also, it will help me track what parts I end up using. I will update things here when time allows during the build process. If you have any comments, please feel free to discuss. Eddie's Build of Niko's (gianakop) Egg Painter | OpenBuilds

    2 M8 Washer Link For right holder.
    1 M8 Fender Washer Link For right holder.
    1 Compression Spring Link For right holder. I used the Century Spring Corp C-632 (7/16" OD x 1-1/16" L x .041" D or 11.125mm OD x 27mm L x 1.041mm D) that a local hardware store had.

    1 M8 Lock Collar Link For right holder. Used 2mm Allen wrench for screw.
    1 608ZZ Radial Ball Bearing Link For right holder. This bearing measures 5mm ID x 22mm OD x 7mm W. I used the Hillman 58441-D (.3150" ID x .8661" OD x .2756"). Might add a second one & extra flange washer.
    1 3M Scotch Removable Mounting Putty Link For right & left holders. Will try to use instead of suction cups. Also known as "poster putty", "sticky tack", or "adhesive putty".
    4 M5 Tee Nuts (OpenBuilds) Link For right holder.

    2 Self Tapping Screw (OpenBuilds) Link For left motor. Used PH2 screwdriver to tighten.
    1 20mm x 80mm x 250mm V-Slot LinearRail (OpenBuilds) Link For base. I really like V-Slot(TM) stuff.
    4 Double L-Bracket (OpenBuilds) Link For under base on left and right as "feet" . Two L-brackets per side.
    4 M5 x 8mm Low Profile Screws (OpenBuilds) Link For under "feet". Used 3mm Allen wrench to tighten.
    4 M5 Tee Nuts (OpenBuilds) Link For under "feet". I am beginning to wonder if I should get some Ball-Spring Tee Nuts for certain applications.
    1 Spacer Block (OpenBuilds) Link For back motor mount.
    3 M5 x 20mm Low Profile Screw (OpenBuilds) Link For back motor mounting bracket & spacer. Used 3mm Allen wrench to tighten.
    3 M5 Tee Nuts (OpenBuilds) Link For back motor mounting bracket & spacer.
    1 NEMA 23 Motor Mount Plate (OpenBuilds) Link For back (NEMA 17) motor. Fits spacer block better.
    1 NEMA 17 Motor Mount Plate (OpenBuilds) Link For left motor.
    4 M2.5 x 20mm Screw Link For under "board holder". I kinda wanted them a bit long for easy putting together.
    4 M2.5 Nut Link For under "board holder".
    4 #4 x 1/4" Nylon Spacer Link For under "board holder". To drop board below 3d print holders to clear surface components. Seems to be a tad tall, need shorter.

    4 M3 Nut Link For under "feet".
    1 EBB Driver Board http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/partsmenu/1... Link Secure under by 3d printed backets. I ordered from EMS in March 2016 and I received the EiBotBoard v.2.3 Motor Controller.
    1 EBB Driver Board Power Supply http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/partsmenu/174-9vps Link This is the 9 Volt 1.5A DC Power Supply the EMS sells. I probably won't buy this, but rather will use one I have laying around fits (center positive 2.1 x 5.5 mm output barrel plug.)
    1 Du-Bro Nylon Hinges Cat. No 116 http://www.amazon.com/DUB116-Nylon-Standard-Hinges-Dubro/... Link For back pen holder. I used this instead of the EggBot Hinge from EMS (EggBot Hinge Set). But might reconsider.
    1 9g Micro Servo Motor (with plastic arm & screws) http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/partsmenu/1... Link For back pen holder. Many compatible hobby RC micro servo motors... Tower Pro SG90, Hextronik HXT900, Fitec FS90 (which I received from EMS), etc.
    1 Little Micro Servo Mounting Screws Link The micro servo motor kit comes with 2 motor mounting screws, but need an extra one for 3 altogether. One to mount motor & two for hinge.
    1 M3 x 10mm Screw Link For back pen holder hinge. Might want a slightly longer screw.
    1 M3 Nut Link For back pen holder hinge.
    1 Aluminum Pen Arm Backer http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/partsmenu/702 Link For back pen holder. I picked this over the 3d printed part. Used 3/32" Allen wrench to tighten set screw. Parallel threaded hold is #10-32 but somehow an M5 screw fit.
    1 M5 x 10mm Low Profile Screws (OpenBuilds) Link For back pen holder, specifically the ALU pen arm backer. Used 3mm Allen wrench to tighten. I want a slightly longer screw so I can add a washer.
    1 #6-32 x 1/2" Thumb Screw Link For back pen holder. Want a better thumb screw than pictured in the build.
    1 #6x32 Nut Link For back pen holder thumb screw.
    1 Fine Tip Sharpie Marker Link For back pen holder.
