Overview

Learn how to build a 3D food printer in this 16-minute video tutorial. Discover the challenges of 3D printing edibles and follow along as a large X-Carve frame is converted into a 3D printer capable of extruding frosting. Explore the use of a syringe pump for food extrusion, understand the limitations of frosting resolution compared to traditional 3D printing materials, and learn about the necessary modifications to power hungry NEMA 23 stepper motors. Gain insights into controller boards, stepper drivers, and the over-engineered solution using SainSmart's 4.2A drivers. Follow the step-by-step process from introduction to conclusion, covering topics such as controller boards, stepper drivers, stepper motors, needles, syringe pumps, frosting, and STL files.
