Introducing The 3D Printed Gingerbread Stave Church! Youtube Video - Https://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=M6Ezp_2E8Ty This Project Has Been Driven By A Single Idea – To Additively Fabricate A Gingerbread House, Or Stave Church In This Case. Gingerbread Houses Are Usually Made As Flats, Then Cooked And Finally Assembled. The Real Challenge For Me Was To Make A Dough That Hold Itself Upright, Which Normal Gingerbread Dough Doesn'T Do Very Well. To Achieve This I Have Been Working At Formulating A Custom Dough (Which Is Still Subject To Change), As Well As Modifying The Printer To Print Liquid-Based Materials With A Heated Nozzle. The Printer I Have Been Using Is A Wasp 2040 Delta With A Modified Clay Extruder, Which They Sell As The Ldm Extruder (Liquid Deposition Modeling). The Printer'S Extrusion Process Is Two-Fold – A Large Cylindrical Tank With Liquid Material Is Pressed To The Extruder With 4.5 Bar Pressure. Then The Material Is Feeded Through The Nozzle With A Mechanical Screw. In Order For The Dough To Dry Quickly, I Have Modified The Nozzle With A Heater Block, Which Heats The Dough To 85 Degrees C.
