DIY Steemit chocolate+ Steemit 3D chocolate box+ tutorial

fathin-shihab (64) in steemit • 7 years ago

It took me a week until I could finally print out this Steemit chocolate box. I needed to order brown fillament and magnets for the box. I also really wanted to make Steemit chocolate. So, I was checking online what I needed. A mould, chocolate fondue and ofcourse chocolate.

First I made the chocolate samples:

I ordered silicone by SilliCreations. It is actually not meant for chocolate, but I wanted to give it a try anyway.

Mixing the two components.

Covering the chocolate samples with silicone and leave it for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, they look like this. Not perfect, but the heart shaped one looks the best.

Now I'm ready to make Steemit chocolate! I melted a chocolate bar first using this chocolate fondue.

I added pieces of caramel fudge.

I was happy to see the result. But after the first round, the chocolate did not look good as the chocolate of the first round.

Below the tutorial of the Steemit chocolate box.
First, the lower part:

Second, the upper part:

Printing time of the chocolate box and chocolate samples were in total: 7.5 hours!!! Moreover, it failed couple of times during printing. You can imagine how frustrated I was! :-).

I hope this post is not too long:-). I just wanted to show you all the steps in details and if you have questions regarding 3D designing this chocolate box, you can always ask me. 👇

lazzelazer (48) · 7 years ago

HAHA. What a lovely post! Nice idea. Excellent tutorial.
If you ever get the need to produce chocolate or other molded stuff at highest resolution, try sending the master files to a print service and do them in SLA or some other resin. Or the next step up from a FDM printer at home is a Formlabs or any of the Chinese copies of it at lower rates.

looks great! I like to make my own chocolate with raw coconut oil and cacao <3 but it's not so beautiful ;)

Do you have no doubt about the plasticizer in the plastics?

fathin-shihab (64) · 7 years ago

Thanks @mimmy. To be honest, i was never into making chocolate, because there is a tempering process you need to go through to make sure chocolate doesn't look white when its drying. Very complicated to me :-)
The mould I used is made of silicone, not plastic. And as far as i know its safe. I mean, nothing in life is 100% safe :-). But it also says it is meant for fondant,clay, not really for chocolate. As i said in my post, the first round went very well. The second less good. If your chocolate tastes good, then it doesnt matter how it looks like :-).

brianadams (47) · 7 years ago

well done, hey how about you start selling your steemit chocolates on steemit? create a market, receive steemit as payment and deliver. you can start in your country.

fathin-shihab (64) · 7 years ago

Thanks @brianadams. Your idea is very good and nice of you :-). But as a mother of 2, i don't think i am able to do that as well as being active on Steemit. :-). Designing and printing in 3D takes already many hours.... but maybe in the nearest future :-).

Can I order a box, if so, from where?

fathin-shihab (64) · 7 years ago (edited)

The chocolate or the box? The box takes hours to print. For the chocolate, I have to buy professional silicone to make a proper chocolate mould. I am willing to do the chocolate only, if you have time? Because ordering the silicone can take a few days. But there is 1 thing you have to keep in mind, the chocolate will not look as smooth as in the shops. It will look like how I made them :-). What we also can do, that I make the chocolate mould and if you want, you can buy the chocolate mould and you make the chocolate yourself :-).

If you want the chocolate to look professional smooth, i have to do it as what @lazzelazer said in his comment above. That will also take time.

Let me know what your decision will be :-). I live in the netherlands by the way! :-)

This is a really cool example of how 3-D printing makes new stuff possible. I've never gotten to print out my own chocolate shapes, but that looks awesome. I can't wait until the printers are a little more affordable

$0.00

fathin-shihab (64) · 7 years ago

You can do so many things with a 3d printer. I would like to see your chocolate shapes :-). You can try buying second hand or building a 3D printer from a kit yourself can save a lot of money. My 3D printer is second hand, i got it from my husband @tarekadam. He now has a new 3d printer but he also saved a lot of money by building it himself again from a kit. But when he used the old 3D printer which i have now, he bought it saving a lot of money by building it himself from a kit saving hundreds of euros.

Sweet, I had no idea it was possible to build a 3-D printer. I am definitely gonna look into that, maybe it will be possible sooner than I thought. Thanks for the tips.
