The New Hotness

  • A Pleasant Morning, With Chocolate

    With a bit more attention to detail, I now have about 125 Tux chocolate tchotchkes for my LUG presentation tomorrow evening:

    Tux in PLA - Dark - Milk Chocolate
    Tux in PLA – Dark – Milk Chocolate

    Seeing as how the Tux chocolates were produced in a facility containing a big nut, some folks may prefer an (inedible, at least by humans, but correspondingly more permanent) Tux tchotchke in PLA. I plan to have the M2 running off more of them, so there should be enough to go around.

    For what it’s worth, you can actually buy a 3D chocolate printer that seems rather overpriced for what’s basically a desktop CNC gantry mill with a heated syringe. The site seems dead, so maybe other folks came to that conclusion, too.
