Here is yet another way to get into the holiday spirit at your local Hackerspace (or at home if you’re happen to have your own 3D printer). [Ralph Holleis] wrote in to show off his 3D printed Christmas cookies. The majority of the info on this project comes from the video embedded after the break. The extruder head he’s using includes a syringe which is filled with what we assume is Spritz Cookie dough. It is squeezed out in a pattern before heading to the oven for baking.
[Ralph] mentioned that he’s using UNFOLD Pastruder as the print head. We looked and couldn’t find that exact design, but it seems like it might be related to this Claystruder head designed by a user named [Unfold]. If you have the exact link to the extruder design seen above please let us know in the comments section.
If you don’t already have this type of head it’s just a matter of printing the mounting brackets and buying a syringe to match. But you’ll also need compressed air and a valve to regulate the flow of dough. It might be easier just to print your own cookie cutters. This is a great project for people who don’t have access to a laser cutter for gingerbread house work.
I’m certain the 3d-printed cookies and ones made with 3d-printed cookie cutters taste WAY better than the laser-cut gingerbread (blech).
I know it means I’m the Grinch, but can’t people pretend they’re filming an ad and get these things across in 30s?
Awesome cookies and machine, tho.
I could not agree more. EVERYTHING has to be an artsy 3- to 7-minute film from various angles, focuses, etc. set to light trance music. I’m sick of it.
It tends to mostly apply to Vimeo videos. Is this where the cool people hang out?
Who has the time to make a video look so professional?
heaven forbid hackers also being aesthetically creative.
grammar skillz ftw.
I’m just jealous. All my videos are raw clips of me holding my phone with one hand while I work with my other.
i like this 3D printer i have in mind crazy ideas :p
I’m guessing maybe this extruder: http://www.thingiverse.com/derivative:31362
Does anyone know the song in the video?

Obviously the writer has no interest in the bragging rights of being able to
have ones cake (stl file) and eat it too.
