Topic: 3d printed cookie dunker (Kickstarter)
Anyone know this guy, video shows him prototyping with SD2, is he among us?
Re: 3d printed cookie dunker (Kickstarter)
Was the final blue prototype CNC'd? It looks like there are marks, but it's too clear for a clear ABS or PLA print that thick.

Imdone.

Ian,
His blog point to some other form of StereoLithography, but he does mention prototyping with the SD.

Hey Solidoodlers!
It is indeed me from the Kickstarter video. I have a Solidoodle 2 with a heated bed. I printed a number of prototypes on it, before committing to a more expensive SLA. I wish the SLA was better print quality, (you can see some of the lines from the layers) but some of the other options were a bit more pricey, like machined acrylic, or cast urethane.
I saw the traffic in my blog analytics, so I thought I'd say hello. I'd love to respond to questions, but if I dont get back right away, its cause things are pretty crazy from the Kickstarter campaign.
Cheers!
Sam

Hey Sam,
Wish you well in the KS campaign. I bookmarked your blog to come back to for sourcing since I'm in development of a few items myself, I plan to go back and check out your process. I backed you too just to support the SD community.
I haven't hand dunked a cookie in years ever since I saw this image though.
Re: 3d printed cookie dunker (Kickstarter)
Thanks! The fork is a classic solution. People tell me they can only make it work with teeny forks and double stuff Oreos. ours works with non-sandwich cookies, too :-). We know we're solving a pretty first-world problem. It's not the only silly thing we make. I'd share the link to our Panic Button Light Switch Kit, but the forum wouldn't let me.

Re: 3d printed cookie dunker (Kickstarter)
Ha! Awesome.
I have a question @AwkwardEngineer, is SLA food safe? I've always heard that SLA prints are more toxic than other 3D printed materials.
Re: 3d printed cookie dunker (Kickstarter)
The SLA was just his prototype, not the production material.
Re: 3d printed cookie dunker (Kickstarter)
The SLA was from Quickparts.com in their "polycarbonate like" material with a "QuickClear" finish. (The finish has to do with some of the hand polishing they apply after printing to smooth out the layers.) Then I stained the plastic using RIT dye, there's a link further up in this thread to the blog post.
As to whether SLA is food safe or not... I certainly wouldn't sell it to the public that way, but I was willing to risk it for my own personal use :-). The material we selected for the actual injection molded production run meets certain FDA requirements for "repeated contact with food substances"
