A fierce man who created a '3D printer that draws edible figures' from a CD drive has appeared, and it is battery-powered and portable

Several attempts have been made to create a laser microscope from a DVD drive, but a new fierce man who made his own '3D printer that draws three-dimensional figures with coloring agents that can be eaten by jelly' has appeared on a CD drive.

Sprites Mods, who makes various hardware himself, created a 3D printer with a CD drive. You can see how the 3D printer actually draws edible figures in the following movie.

A container containing red jelly is placed on the pedestal of the 3D printer.

When you turn on the 3D printer, a three-dimensional spiral is drawn by the black colorant that comes out of the needle-shaped part stuck in the jelly.

The drawn three-dimensional figure does not collapse even if the container is moved. The black coloring is made from cornstarch and banana liqueur, so you can eat the jelly.

In addition to spirals, you can also draw cubes.

Seen from above, it looks like this.

SpritesMods said, 'One day, was participating in the birthday party of a friend,

Jell-O Jell-O shots mixed with sake to have been provided,' 'luck I think that interesting if draw a three-dimensional shapes to a large amount of Jell-O shot, I came up with the idea of making a 3D printer that draws 3D figures on jelly, 'he says.

Also, Sprites Mods's house had a lot of old CD drives. Since the CD drive is equipped with a motor to move the laser that reads the data on the CD, you can make a 3D printer by using a total of three CD drives, x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. Sprites Mods thought.

The motors used in many CD drives were of poor quality and could not be used to make 3D printers. However, the relatively expensive CD drive was equipped with a quality motor that could be used as a part of a 3D printer.

It looks like this is how the parts taken out from the three CD drives are joined together.

A syringe is used for the colorant extrusion mechanism.

The circuit diagram of the 3D printer looks like this. As a motor control chip of the

L293D and the three groups, as a whole of the control chip ATTINY2313 has is used.

Finally, Sprites Mods installed a laptop battery in the 3D printer to make it portable.

This completes the 'portable 3D printer that draws 3D figures with coloring agents that can be eaten by jelly.' In addition, Mr. SpritesMods publishes the source code used for creation at the end of the

creation method explanation page.
