Pasta printer

This pasta printer doesn't use cells like some of the other devices, it just liquifies the pasta material and prints out unique pasta shapes, one at a time into the green bowl. I think that whole online communities would be built around people making their own pasta shapes. It would be a lot of fun. I've done some sample pasta shapes that you can see in the printed pasta section. Due Fiori sort of blooms on both sides when cooked. Agli in Camicia is a delicate open dumpling that you'd fill with meat or veggies before cooking. Casacci is random geometric pasta.

The green bow was vac formed first, with the holes being laser-cut second. The final shape was laser-cut third- a difficult bowl to make in the end. Better than using something from off the shelf though.
