Hey Tim,
I came to this story through core77.com, a neat ID
e-zine.
As far as I can tell (I hate reading a geeky BLOG to figure out someone’s
project!) it “prints” a little dot of chocolate by moving a plate under a “print
head” that extrudes the product. Or maybe it moves the head over the plate? I
can’t tell. I have no idea how it handles undercuts, as it has no way of making
“support” (maybe add a second head extruding peanut butter? LOL). Without that I
guess it just makes a lump.
I love the idea of chocolate as an RP material - it melts into itself, so no
stepover marks! Of course the whole “part” also just melts into goo, so not
exactly stable to look at for very long. But I suppose it’s not made to be
looked at.. it’s supposed to be funny.
I wish the little movie link worked, that way we could see the finished product.

I did a simple search and was unsuccessful, do you have a direct link?
