Do You Want a Chocolate Printer?

We've talked about printable food before. But this may be even better. Behold: the world's very first 3D chocolate printer. Too bad it wasn't around for Easter, huh? Choc Edge, the maker of the product, was founded by Dr. Liang Hao from the University of Exeter. And it's been in the market for a few weeks now, albeit with a pretty steep selling price of $3,500.

But just because the printer is pricey, doesn't mean it's complicated. Hao says the beauty of the product is that it's built for the masses, not for some mad scientist locked up in a lab. "We've improved and simplified the machine, so now it is really easy to use," Hao told the BBC. "You just need to melt some chocolate, fill a syringe that is stored in the printer, and get creative printing your chocolate." Sounds easy enough. And also, delicious. Are you interested in purchasing a chocolate printer?

    I'll wait until the price drops considerably, and you can use other materials than chocolate as well. I think they make other 3d printers for less than $1,000.

    I don't need one all to myself, but it would be awesome if everyone was able to use it at coffee shops and such (for a small fee?) $3500 is a lot of money! But oh dear yes I'd love to be able to print my own chocolate. That would make chocolate gifts a lot more personal.
