I wanted a lathe for Easter egg decorating. I was not satisfied with what was available. Whipped this up really quick.

Everything prints easily without complication. The crank side is fixed and the other slides, with tension provided by a rubber band. A flat base for holding by hand or use a clamp to fix it to your table.

Photographs are of my first print. I have since modified the files to be smaller, use less material, and take less time to print.

-U se Cyanoacrylate to glue the FixedRiser in place. (locate the rubber band post INSIDE and away from the crank)
- Light sanding as necessary to assure the shafts rotate smoothly before assembly
- Carefully glue the crank and the shaft lock to the shafts to fix the rotating parts in place.
- Install a rubber band
- if you need more friction, you can glue rubber band pieces or use Plastic-dip on the EggShaft cups.

Yes, it's stupid simple on purpose. Not a lot of time before the holiday!
