This is the reason that prompted us to review the entire project trying to create guidelines that would allow anyone to make their own Spherebot. Unfortunately, the documentation of this creation is quite fragmented, sometimes incomplete and often outdated: the firmware available did not work, for example, with the latest versions of the Arduino IDE. The result is a version of the printer that has taken the name of Spherebot and which substantially shares the mechanical structure of the EggBot but differs in the electronics. The suggested control board () is based on a Microchip microcontroller, thus many makers have striven trying to realize something similar based on Arduino, because, however good, the Microchip hardware can not rely on the same amount of information exchange and community. The first (which takes its name from the fact that it was born to draw and write on eggs) is one is the famous creation of Evil Mad Scientist that also made all the project opensource (see ).

The machine that we aim to realize is known in the internet world as Eggbot or Spherebot.
