Who needs Santa when you can print infinite chocolate anythings?

Moving Brands got themselves set up with a RepRap 3D printer and came up with the only correct answer to “how shall we use this for the holidays?” – delicious high resolution chocolates! The studio set about making models of things with personal meanings, then filled a company advent calendar with the results.

The project includes a gallery of models/chocolates, and details about each item:

And a video of the process:

According to Ben Lambert, the parts beyond the standard RepRap stuff are:

• - Frostruder components minus wood w/solenoids mounted on top of the A frame
• - A “big-ass” tank of compressed nitrogen
• - A custom, 3D printed clamp for the syringe
• - A pipe heater
• - Chef’s cooling spray
• - Lots and lots of milk chocolate!

I’m definitely going to look into doing something like this for the holidays next year… It would make for a great collaborative project with any group. Here’s where you can see more:
