RE: How To (and how not to) Laser Cut Chocolate

in #diy7 years ago

Chocolate dinosaurs...

after failing to eat his screen or the dinosaur within it, does the only reasonable thing and mashes the follow/like buttons till they break

\*O*/

You just got yourself a new fan !

Of course, you cheated, employing one of my greatest weaknesses !
You dastardly fiend XP

Where ever did you get the amazing idea to laser cut chocolate ?

IT makes me wonder if, when I get my MIGO 3D printer (and it's laser cutting module) I can do something similar...

Mmmmm chocolate

Sort:  

Thanks, and glad you liked it! I don't know what strength laser the cutting module has for the MIGO 3D printer, but it's quite possible you will be able to cut chocolate as well. The key for you might be that you will need to cut pretty slow, just to give it enough time to melt through the chocolate as it's cutting.

I actually got the idea to do this from a contest put on by Instructables.com, which was themed "The Science of Cooking". I wanted to do something related to laser cutting, and after thinking about it decided that chocolate would probably be one of the coolest things that you could cut. It took some trying, but I got it to work!

It's certainly a delicious idea !

We'll see once I get it.

Won a pre-order for a MIGO in a 3d design competition back in December, but the orders are probably going to go out towards August (cries in anticipation), so I've got some waiting to do XS
