Fab @ Home Chocolate turtle

We were really looking forward to seeing our first 3D printer in real life... what we found was a whole 3D printer village! As I walked around marveling at the magic of objects being reproduced... the plastic pouring out of the tubes reminded me of icing being piped... and sure enough tucked away in a corner of the show we stumbled across this printer, printing with chocolate. Its a prototype of a food-safe printer printing our these little chocolate turtles...“The Fab@Home syringe tools have the unique ability to make objects out of multiple materials.
