What If You Put Nutella In a 3d Printer? 

The obvious next step is to 3D print the bread to make it equally as perfect.

Sounds like the plot of a movie. Print a weapon, eat the evidence.

I think that octopus would have actually worked if you had scaled it up so the loss of resolution was less extreme.

6:48 - Look at that subtle off-brown coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a raster pattern.

Engineers: We spent thousands of hours working on 3D printing food for space travel Action Lab: Haha nutella go brrrrrrrrrrr

I had a friend when I was a kid who heated up the Nutella in a microwave for a couple of seconds then poured Nutella on a plate and pressed/dipped the bread slices in the now flat layer of Nutella, it was the only way to get an even spread according to her 😊

I think the chocolate benchy failed because the printer doesn't seem to have print cooling, so instead of the chocolate basically instantly solidifying as it came out the nozzle it just drooped down.

Thank god for the arrow in the thumbnail, I didn’t know where to look

1:00 "Benchy is the 3D printing equivalent to Hello World in programming" Thank you for an analogy I can understand lol

This is what us humans really needed🗿

7:05 looks like the best advertisement for 3d printing chocolate

"Scientist always ask if we could and never if we should"

I like how he tasted the whistle and decided to eat it 😆

We're 50 years away from having Subnautica style fabricators that make food.

For the whistle the fipple (air exit hole) has to be very precise. It won't make any sound if it isn't just right.

YES!!! THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE NEED ANSWERS TO!!! TRY PEANUT BUTTER NEXT!!!

"What If You Put Nutella In a 3d Printer..." Halfway through the video, sponsoring a mental health service 🤔

So I'm thinking, a cooling solution for when after the chocolate extrudes might help to make more rigid stuctures.

Try the peanut butter - it will also jam automatically

WHAT IF I 3D PRINT A BAR OF CHOCOLATE WITHG CHOCOLATE

Try air conditioning the room so that the chocolate cold a little more quickly, you might get cleaner prints

*New rule of the Internet:* If it can be 3D printed the action lab has already done it

I can't believe James didn't know the word "Tentacles" 🤣😂🤣😂

Scale up the octopus 2x and then print.

People in 1984: Robots are going to destroy us in 40 years Robots in 2024:

The most impressive thing about this video is how calm James manages to keep himself for several hours while his kids are screaming for their breakfast sandwiches 😂

Now 3d printers will be sold as Nutella spreaders

Chocolate whistle probably didn’t work because chocolate has different resonance then plastic Edit; check out the reply from Jared…after doing some research myself I can say that material resonance does not apply with wind instruments

discord mods 3d printing their food while making comments about how the age of consent should be 13

That victorious bite at the end. I was so proud of you.

Mod the printer with a cooling fan so the choco cools faster and it may manage to print the overhanging parts.

Toot sweets! The candies you whistle, the whistles you eat.

The boat print worked on the lower portion because it has a lot of surface area to cover for each layer. Thus, the chocolate has plenty of time to harden while the rest of that layer is being printed, and before more melted chocolate is layed on top of it in the next layer. The higher layers that make up the cabin and bow of the boat all have a very small profile, so each layer is finished very fast, and doesnt have time to harden before the next layer of chocolate is printed on top of it. So what you end up with is just melted chocolate being poured on top of more melted chocolate, and it just hardens in as a droopy blob shape. To fix this you would need to reduce the print speed so every layer has the time needed to cool, and you could even put a small desk fan in front of it to help speed up the cooling process.

Greatest video made by far. Just perfect, from the start until that satisfying bite at the end😂

i’m guessing the whistle didn’t work because chocolate allows for more air to pass through even though it’s technically solid. Think of the difference between sand and glass as a reference of chocolate and plastic. Too much air escapes the layers of the chocolate for it to make sound

7:17 You wouldn’t wanna know 💀

7:05 After finishing toast: “Everything is crooked, reality is poison, lambs to the cosmic slaughter!”

Woke up this morning and the first and only thing i did was watch a man 3d print a perfect spread of nutella onto bread. Life is good.

That would be a great way to frost cookies with a specific design. Give your boss a box of cookies with a middle finger and the words, "I Quit!" printed on each of them!

7:10 Although not enough Nutella for me

We developed this technology to better humankind and progress our evolution. The internet:

That final perfect spread looks like it was frosted with chocolate icing on one of those cookie decorating RU-vid channels.

No one : Literally No one : That one unemployed friend on a random Tuesday:

The video I didnt know I needed

why did i watch this i want chocolate now

I have never seen/heard a better example of a voice that perfectly matched a tiny man-bun in my life

Can you introduce a cool/cold air flow at the point where the chocolate comes out? Help it take shape & build shapes better

THIS IS THE 3D PRINTING INNOVATION WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Printer needs bread levelling

now we need the perfect spread of butter on a piece of bread

You may be able to achieve something similar using a solder paste printing machine. It's like a screenprinter that deposits material onto a surface through a stencil at a constant speed and pressure, applying it evenly.

Finally! Some real science.

Bad things will happen

sir, what if we pour water into the hydrophobic water? Will the water float inside the glass?

The perfect slice is the one done with the knife

[Fills with Vegemite]

After a certain point...it will not provide any output as the nutella will spoil it😋

For that whistle, you have to blow *really hard,* like it’s an all or nothing kind of whistle.

Look at that subtle off-brown coloring, the tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god. it even has a bite mark

The problem with overhang and chocolate is more likely that the chocolate doesn't have enough hardening time but that's nothing you couldn't fix! Just increase the layer cure time and try it again! Should work like a charm!

You know, if you want to get the ultimate sisyphus experience, print a 3D scanned bar of chocolate with that chocolate.

I think having compressed canned air would help the chocolate solidify between layers. I've seen people use it on those candy sculpture shows, so it might work.

I'd consider using an aircon of some sorts to drive the print area down to some near-freezing temperature, or have an extremely cold breeze blowing over the print area, see if it solidifies the chocolate faster or enables the use of cheaper non-proprietary blocks of choc.

In Soviet Russia, Nutella puts 3D printer into you! Oy, what a country.

5:38 You need to get a bread thickness planer to fix that.

I think printing chocolate designs with decent height/complexity requires an enclosure that is actively cooled (i.e. a fridge). The printer needs a part cooling fan, which this one doesn't seem to have for some reason.

I think this channel has a great balance of scientific, interesting, and fun. Thank You!

2:00 - next time please finish research BEFORE eating sample. :)

0:07 wait, what?! Why did I not know this?! Off to look into this absolutely incredible development in mankind’s exploration of space. Right after watching you make the perfect Nutella on toast with a 3D printer.

Thank you for answering the question I never had, it was awesome!

The whistle starts melting when blowing into it. It is also due to the resilience of the material. Because of the melting it does not vibrate as it should to produce sound.

Use 3D printer to print 2D chocolate, nice!

4:00 disappointment

It belongs in a museum

That whistle actually did work. My neighbors dog immediately started barking! 😂

*Timestamps for the video* Start: 0:00 End: 7:34

3:57 Dawg they’re called “tentacles”

I'm glad your solving the importent problems in life.

FIRST

Brilliant! The type of whistle normally has a little ball/nut inside. Either yours didn’t have one, or it stuck to the chocolate.

Him not toasting the bread is a crime😭

Please research your sponsors before accepting them. Seeing you promo them is extremely disapointing.

Can I say one thing ? Make a me angry when you guys advertising in the video because I pay for premium to get rude of that issue and now people do this ,don't want to follow anyone that does this . Just so your aware why I'm leaving

1:30 i think a possible solution is to get an air circulation channel that focuses roughly 12.5 C air at the print plate. should help with it not firming up quick enough

It seems to me that the main problem with Benchy was that there wasn't sufficient time between layers to let it cool. On the larger layers, each section has time to cool as the printer is finishing that section and starting the next one. But on the smaller layers, the print head passes over a section too quickly for it to have time to cool. Some 3d print software actually lets you set a minimum time per layer and the printer will actually just wait to give it time to cool if it finishes a layer before that minimum time.

Food was the very last thing I expected people to be 3D printing

Music used in 1:06 is "Mythologica" by Ofrin. It's a nice piece and her discography is full of bop songs.

Didn't even realize 3D printing chocolate would be an option, awesome

Ive watched a few of your videos and enjoyed them all, but this is the one that made me like and subscribe lol

That last piece of bread looks like you took it straight out of a cartoon

The next progression is to have a cooling plate for the extruded chocolate to form on and solidify.

when I saw the perfect spread, my first thought was immediately “just eat it already.”

All these hours, completley worth it

I literally started laughing out loud when I saw the thumbnail

Chocolate greeting cards with oversized hinges. Would work best with any combination of milk, dark, and/or white chocolates, if not combined with and edible paint for legibility.

eating it is like reaching an enlightenment

this is actually the most practical thing you can do with a chocolate 3d printer 😅
