Ceramic prints like simple, and this is as simple as it gets. But the result is great! Hope you all enjoy...

P.S. My daughter immediately pressed Eggbot into service...

Duann - thanks for the blog posting.

I'm amazed just how well he turned out. (It would be wrong to call him 'it'...)

Also, I reckon he would look awesome done in Satin Black - he'd fit the look of the source material exactly IMHO.]]> mygadgetlife 2012-11-22T13:14:00-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57488&th=11628#msg_57488 mygadgetlife wrote on Thu, 22 November 2012 13:14

Satin Black would go better for Robby, I was thinking Robot (was his name really just Robot?) from Lost in Space.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2012-11-26T14:55:36-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=64588&th=11628#msg_64588 Looks like Robby the Robot from one of my favourite Sci-Fi movies The Forbidden Planet. Robby had hands and legs/feet while the M3/B9 from Lost in Space had claws and track in long shots...hey what can I say I'm a geek.

My model borrows the look in a much more simplified way... just add an an egg!

In any case, I've renamed the model to... Eggby... don't know if I'm happy about that yet :/ What do others think?

The main reason for the rename was to avoid any confusion with the, well, the actual Eggbot product that makers use to decorate eggs and suchlike. There was always the potential for litigation too naming-wise, perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself!

It might be a simplified way but it's recognisable. Even my non geek wife saw him and said "that's the robot from Forbidden Planet...cool"

You must be older than me I grew up with lost in space. I've "seen" Robby but wasn't familiar with him until Pawn Stars and American Pickers talked about him while buying versions of him.


51 this year I remember I was about 10 or 11 sneaking downstairs in the wee small hours to watch it. Back in the days before VCR's were in every house. My Dad caught me with about 5 minutes to go and said I might as well see the end then...GET BACK TO BED!!]]> Invicta_NC 2013-03-22T02:55:33-00:00
