The Fabaroni is a 3D printing machine that constructs 3D models with pasta dough. You've also got the 3D chocolate printer made out of lego. And Previously.

more seriously, I love 3D replicators. To me, they're still an awesome taste (hohoho) of the future...

OK, rapid prototypers, it's time to stop making them funny and start making them available.

Are there any pictures of the Fabaroni's results? I couldn't find any pictures or video of it actually, you know, fabbing something.

Neat! I'd spotted the class online some time ago and was waiting for someone from it to write stuff up. Some interesting mechanical design choices, but they're students and they say they were working quickly so I'm not going to be too harsh on them, aside from suggesting a bit of cross-bracing never hurts. (Although I do wish people would use aluminum instead of acrylic sheet when building these things.) Frankly, over-build it once makes more sense than redesign it many times, so more power to them.

...was waiting for someone from it to write stuff up. Everyone who takes the class had to put together an online portfolio of all their projects. From here, you can find things up to 2003, but it looks like the brains behind the new website failed to link to student projects. For example if you click on a student name from 2001 you will come to their portfolio. Even though some of the images/links on the class page itself are gone, most student stuff is still there. (This class was a lot of fun!) (And a hell of a lot of work.)

Ah, and if you google for "How to make almost anything" and maybe throw in MIT or something, you'll get more recent portfolios.

OK, rapid prototypers, it's time to stop making them funny and start making them available. My group (reprap) and fab@home are. But it's more fun to build your own, which is what this post is about.
