There are 3D printers for chocolate, candy and much more, so it's only natural that someone would create a cheese 3D printer. Dubbed the Easy Cheese 3D Printer, it cleverly uses a Easy Cheese can as its central piece to create an affordable option that anyone can enjoy. Granted, a person would need access to a Cartesian-style 3D printer frame first.
Thankfully, creator Andrew Maxfield-Parish did. His Easy Cheese 3D Printer also boasts a custom arm-like mechanism that manipulates the cheese appropriately. There's also a significant lack of mess thanks to the use of these spray can-like canisters. Of course, that is made up through the use of the machine itself. The first test of the cheese 3D printer is rife with issues that Maxfield-Parish will have to resolve through more prototyping.
