As someone who works with 3D-printers on a regular basis I am impressed on how much you achieved starting from basically zero. If you keep working with that please be aware that brass nozzles, like you used in your final creations, may contain lead or arsenic. Ensuring food safety with DIY 3D-printers is quite a challenge. This is also one of the reasons why commercially available food printers are usually very expensive. An option for you might be stainless steel nozzles.

A good tip for better modelling: Solid modeling software (i.e.: SolidWorks, Inventor) is designed to allow you to easily position features and adjust them on the fly without breaking your model, and is easier to use for engineering applications than a mesh modeler like Blender. And they'll turn your models into STL meshes for you. Fusion360, TinkerCAD, and OnShape are all good free examples, and given how many youtubers have OnShape sponsorships, they'd probably sponsor some videos if you continue this project.

Ann, I have been watching you for close to a decade now. I'm a 23 year old engineer now and am, of course, obsessed with 3D printers and specifically 3D modeling. Seeing this upload genuinely made me so happy and the knowledge and even your 3d modeling capabilities were outstanding for a beginner. This was an awesome upload, thank you!!

Hi Ann! I have been following your content since the past 8 years now and I absolutely LOVE your chocolate creations! ❤ I was a student then and now I have a 9-5 job.

I've been watching you for years, I also just got into 3D printing myself and I can't even put into words how impressed I am you managed to tackle and overcome all of that. 3D printing really is just one issue happening after the next so it can be frustrating. (Especially when just 5 letters stand between you and the solution lol) Amazing work, I can't wait to see what the future of food printing brings us! With love from Canada as always!

you should maybe get a teflon coated nozzle(or a stainless steel one). random nozzles from aliexpress they don't tell you which brass alloy it is made from and some brass alloys contain lead(to make it more machinable and improve other qualities like that). not a much, and not much of it can leech into the food but still. how much would leech also would depend heavily on what the food is. nice build. don't forget you can use the basic same setup to print silicone gaskets and even pottery. edit: a lot of stepper motor drivers die if you disconnect motor while powered up.
@HowToCookThatАй бұрын
Yes I wrote that on the blog post to buy a stainless teel one if you're using it for food production for that exact reason. As I was not sure if I'd be able to get it to work I went for the cheapest option.

@@HowToCookThat I've broken a fair amount of them messing with for no good reason, yes. and got printing nice again only to repeat the loop. doesn't help that I buy only cheapest of the cheapest china parts. it's the sickness known as printer of theseus. edit: I did start out with a printer that cost over 2000 dollars back in the day, a makerbot replicator 1 dual. it was supposed to be a turn key printer but haha was anything but.

the fact that you went through all of this with zero prior experience has inspired me to try again to figure out how to use my resin 3d printer. I got it thinking I understood what I was getting into, but had lots of trouble figuring out the nuances even with researching. But I want to make it work because I have so many ideas. (ideas that I would also need to figure out how to use blender as well)

It's not just the final product. It's the whole process of problem identifying and solving that makes this video so satisfying to watch. You did so well with zero knowledge (I'm assuming) of mechanical engineering. Kudos to you!

As a long time 3D printing enthusiast, the first 1/3 of the video was hard to watch. I am very impressed by how you stuck to it, and kept going. Great results, and your experience is pretty average in what amounts to the experimental community around things like this. Lots of trial and error, and you really did a great job of it. I really enjoyed this video, and hope you keep tinkering and experimenting on this in the future.

One fine day you just decide you want to print chocolate and by the next day you’re troubleshooting the 3D printer you made from scratch. And you make it look easy lol. It’s a privilege to be able to watch a creator who is as talented and tenacious as you. Keep up the great work!!

I used to work in a makerspace and we would show videos of different types of printers during our 3D printing classes. There was a chocolate printer that, as it was explained to me, would flash freeze the extruded chocolate so that the heated chocolate coming out of the nozzle wouldn't turn the whole thing into goop. When you showed that clip of the guy attempting a chocolate Benchie, that was the first thing I thought of! Honestly, the average person doesn't understand how complicated and time consuming 3D printing really is! You managed to accomplish something truly impressive here!!
