Use of “combind” in place of present tense “combine”, as in recipe instructions -”Combind eggs and sugar.” I feel this is an eggcorn as “bind” reiterates “combine”.

Good ’un.
Got more examples for us? Did you see this written, or hear it spoken?

Plenty of ghits for “combind harvester”.
But this was a disappointment, with only one that I could find:
When I was a bairn I used to think the large farm machine for harvesting and threshing wheat was called a Corn Bind Harvester
Bear in mind that the word corn has a longer history than its meaning of maize/Indian corn/sweetcorn. In my distant UK youth we used the word to mean wheat, mostly.
On the plain in Spain where it mainly rains.

Conjugation of combind to the past tense, combound, supports its eggcornhood. I get the impression that combound may be a strange self-referential blend with compound.
This is simple water manipulation that when combound with fire it creates Mist, and when combound with wind it makes Ice. Thunder will negate it.

I believe a good presentation can be fully effective when combound with a good method.

But trying to blame it on other people (more so when combound with a reluctance to cover costs) is what creates profound disappointment.

Recently,I bought a 1TB External hard drive only for my PS4 and when I connected it to the system,I realised I cant use it to be combound with the internal system drive.

My seven year old just used this, actually the past participle, but in a rear dual eggcorn sentence
She suggested a good quarantine activity was to draw your favorite animal and your favorite cartoon char-actor combinded.
