3D printed eggs

[Super Nova]

So like most people’s eggs, all of mine save maybe one have broken lids and/or battery doors and it got me thinking, has anyone 3D printed new bodies to drop the egg guts into? I know PBDNA has a 3D printed hopper (the Mojo) that takes revy guts but seems like if someone did that for egg guts it could save some volume in the landfills.

I would deffinatly buy one if someone started making them

I wonder how the circuitry handles being slightly over-volted. 11.1v LiPo batteries are very common in the RC and FPV Drone world, are very reliable, and pack a lot of power in a smaller form factor than 2 9v's. Could lead to some interesting configurations.

If someone printed a smaller egg, I'd be down.

I emailed PBDNA to see if they would be interested in doing something right after I posted the original post and did mention making it 100 or 150 rd capacity but I just got his response. He said most eggs are in the dump already and he doesn't think he would make his design time back. So I responded asking how many he would need to sell and maybe we could do a pre-order type thing, ill keep ya updated but anyone know someone else that could tackle this project?

Eggs always fed great but had problem "lids" that broke and a shell/neck that is very fragile. If it was updated to use standard lids/speedfeeds and made of a more durable material........

I agree. The feed mechanism and logic of eggys is solid, it was always the shells/lid and fragile feedneck that caused issues

I’ve never had an egg, but often wondered what everyone thought about the balance. It’s the only “normal” loader (not q-loader and other unique designs) that isn’t relatively centered over the feedneck.
