3D Printer Extruding Icing/Frosting for decorating Cakes and Buns !!
Okay we have seen videos showing chocolate being extruded out of a syringe and also cake dough being extruded to make cookies. But we wanted to see if we could Ice a cakes, buns etc etc.
SO…..
We attached an Icing/Piping attachment to a custom bracket we made for our 3D Printer.
Then we adapted the Icing/Piping attachment with a linear motor connected to the plunger and modified the Firmware and created Gcode to get the feed rates correct.
So here is a video of the first two goes.
The Icing sugar drys out pretty damm quick and I need to experiment getting the consistency right for the mixture we are extruding.
You will see on the second try, half way around it starts to dry out and not stick to the board.
Also I am no chef, so any cake Icing/Frosting experts out there, be gentle with me 🙂
Net video we will use a real cake where the icing should attach better.
