[edit] Egg.in File Format

This is the format of the dimensions of the egg. This is just one curve from top to bottom of the egg mapped out as an x,y vertex curve. These dimensions are used to adjust a Sphere to match the curve of the egg.

[edit] Blender Eggbot v0.1 PoC

This is just a proof of concept but it can read in the Egg.in file and will hopefully be able to map the image as a UV texture then instruct the arduino to print it...
