The Space Egg is a fun and beginner-friendly soldering kit combined with 3D-printed components. It features an interactive mechanism where turning the egg aligns a magnetic switch (reed switch) with a magnet, powering on the three RGB LEDs. This creates a stunning light effect inside the egg and the flame underneath the rocket-shaped egg cup.
This fantastic kit was created in collaboration with Olaf Emcke.
