The Amazing CandyFab 4000 DIY 3D Sugar Cube Printer – sweet…

The CandyFab 4000 DIY 3D Sugar Cube Printer is a thing of beauty and wonderment. The parts cost around $500 in old money, and the result comes out as a layered three dimensional object made of caramelised sugar. Pop a large amount of granulated sugar in one end, flick a switch and watch 3D products come out the other. It’s completely boffin-tastic. More information can be found here, and apparently there’s a CandyFab 5000 coming (maybe with food safe output? Yum!)…
