Knex Automatic Egg Painter

Hello Everybody,

I wanted to make a automatic egg painter. So I thought the most logical material to use would be knex. So I invented this. I am also going to show you the process in which I tried to design it. It paints them with paint or you could also use markers. Here is the video of it working. One more thing you are going to have to follow the pictures as it is hard to use words when building with Knex. But I will do my best to explain what you are doing. I hope you enjoy & it is easy for you to build.

Look at picture 1 for what you need for the egg spinner. Now follow the rest of the pictures in order for what to do next. Once built set aside for now.

For the next part of the spinner build what you see in picture 1. Then add on what you see in the rest of the pictures. Now look at the last picture and connect part 1 & 2 together as shone. And now the egg base is complete.

For this part you are going to be using both the smaller and the larger Knex pieces. The first picture is built with the larger ones. The others are using mostly smaller. once you built this part build another. These hold the spinning brushes.

For what you need for 1 spinner (that holds 4 brushes) look at picture 1. Then follow the rest of the pictures. Now that you are done with this part make another (a total of 2) Put the finished spinning brushes on the stands.

Use rubber bands to secure the paintbrushes (or markers) in between the 2 blue Knex pieces on each side.

This step is optional you can just put paint on the brushes (or use markers) But you can also hook up some sort of dish and put paint in it (I used a plastic egg shell) I hooked mine up with a rubber band on one of the corners.

Now its time to set it up. A few suggestions: #1 do it outside (it sometimes splatters paint) #2 set up newspaper under it (same reason as #1)

Now you are done. Above are 2 of the eggs I painted using it (I accidentally dropped one and it cracked) I hope you enjoyed this instructable & don't forget to vote :)
