[MOC] EV3 Cookie Icing Machine

[touthomme]

I've been itching to build another EV3 model recently and my girlfriend suggested I try to build a machine that can decorate cookies with icing. This is the result, which we call the EV Icer.

Right now the program can decorate three designs - a star, snowflake and angel. It's built using only pieces from the EV3 kit (31313), plus you need some icing material. :) It's actually a bit sensitive to operate, and performance depends heavily on the viscosity of your icing. I've written a bunch of notes about getting it to work well on my website. You can also find building instructions for it there: http://jkbrickworks....-icing-machine/

We also had way too much fun filming this mock infomercial for it. :)

Seen the video when you first put it on YouTube. Very cool MOC.

Finally, a good reason to buy $350 LEGO set! Hopefully, my results won't vary

All you need now is a lego cookie monster. :D

Awesome machine! Angels are very elaborate ;) Infomercial is very funny! You guys must have had a blast filming it!

Very nice, however $350 for a cookie icing machine seems a bit excessive ;)

Your infomercial was great, like many infomercials, over-acting, but true to the art of infomercials. You need to talk to Anthony Sullivan, I'm sure he has a place for you.

Merry Christmas,

You rock, this is brilliant !

Did you use an existing algorithm to convert the patterns into instructions for each motor ?

Too bad there are too few Mindstorms MOCs around here...
