Hi Fedor, much kudos for all the work you put into this video! The chocolate status is too thin judging by your video, we recommend that you lower the luckybot printing temperature to 33℃. The choco status should be continuous and semi-fluid. We recommend dark chocolate instead of milk choco. The ideal room temperature for chocolate printing is 15-24 degrees Celsius. Looking forward to seeing your updating.🤝
Haha this is such a cool concept! Definitely looks like the product needs some fine tuning to make it more user friendly though, a fan would definitely help.
Please don't use a cooling fan, wind will make nozzel get clogged. The ideal room temperature for chocolate printing is 15-24 degrees Celsius. If it's higher, we suggest placing some ice packs nearby. This way the choco will shape better. 😀
Luckybot is right. I likely just had the heat too high. That made the chocolate stay molten for too long. If it was lower, I would have likely been able to finish.
I think it needs a fan blowing at the surface to cool the chocolate as it goes otherwise it'll just stay too warm as you extruder more warm chocolate on top of it where as a part cooling fan would cool the already extruded stuff so you're building on a hard surface instead of a sift melty one. You could just stick a small fan next to the printer pointed at the surface, I don't think the little extruder fan had enough balls. Great build & video
@@3DPrintSOS I bet you could pop the build plate in the freezer and the chocolate would pop right off, but parchment paper taped down would have been best
@@luckybot3d I wonder if popping the bed in the freezer for awhile before starting a print would help? No, that won't work except for the first layer. But definitely a cooling fan is needed. Great idea, needs tweaking but you're off to a good start for sure

Hi Fedor, after watching your videos I bought a Voxelab Aquila which is surprisingly good printer, a real bargain. Did you print anything with TPU filament on the Aquila ?
Rudolph is on 🔥. But he’s right, I print with TPU often. For the Aquila, you need to print a new extruder. Otherwise the TPU bunches up. So it’s a free modification. Search for TPU on my channel, a few videos should come up. :)
I kinda want one. Lowering the temp a little and setting up 2 fans to cool would help greatly. What about make it cold bed? Im not sure if there is a way to make the bed cool down and maintain that temp but it would be a game changer.
@@luckybot3d printing on a cooled bed would be far superior than ice packs and I don't forsee Fedor being able to print a benchy based on what I've see so far. Def looking forward to the progression though
@@3DPrintSOS I think the heat of the nozzle would work to our advantage there--potato pancakes anyone? On the chocolate, I think the results would be improved if each layer is allowed to cool and harden completely before the next layer of molten chocolate is applied.
Dear, the preferred ingredient that LuckyBot can print is chocolate, which supports 3D molding. You can also print with peanut butter，jams, creams, mashed potatoes, salad dressing. These materials support 2D molding. 😀
How did I know the first print would be a chocolate benchy? LOL Probably needs to have a slightly lower temperature so the chocolate has more of a gel consistency, which would avoid the dribble issue as well. Creality squirrel chess pieces would make good Easter projects.
Not sure I understand the question but I’ll try. Cura settings don’t really change between the Aquila, C2, or X2. Only the retraction setting changes for the S2. However the Aquila Pro changes that completely. It’s built on different system. If you are referring to this chocolate extruder, you have to use their own profiles. Otherwise, it won’t work correctly. Hope that helped.
So weird. I do want this though. Definitely a benchy. I wonder how elaborate a design you could make with this. Might be fun for weddings or something like that. Edit: looking at the site it says you can print in cheese. I'd love to see a cheese model if you can figure it out.
Of course, food safety is the most important. LuckyBot extruder comes with a food-grade ABS body, food-grade stainless steel noozle, and food-grade PP tubes. It has been certified by FDA, FCC and CE.

Thank you for the pointers!
I could see this being used in bakeries for really cool custom stuff.
Yeah for sure. Once it’s tuned, this could be cool!
Definitely your funniest video lol.. A cooling fan would probably help set the layers too as you mentioned..
Haha. Glad you liked it Ray.
This is great, try turning the temp of the chocolate down 5 degrees or more and have a fan blowing on the build plate. Great video as always.
Yep, that would have been a good idea.

@@luckybot3d Ohh fair enough, it’s an interesting learning curve printing something with such a low melting temperature!
This is pretty cool. I’ve seen other ways but real expensive or hard to do.
This is quite accessible

Yeah, I think having a fan would have solved it. Also, parchment paper. 😂

We can place some ice cubes nearby to cool down the temperature.

For my two cents, I think resume printing might help
Hi Fedor, after watching your videos I bought a Voxelab Aquila which is surprisingly good printer, a real bargain. Did you print anything with TPU filament on the Aquila ?
He's done a handful of videos on tpu. He even has an adapter he designed for the aquila to help feed tpu through the machine.

@@6Rudolph6Shitler6 cool, thanks a lot !
Ask lots of questions. :) But also, jump into our discord server. You’ll love seeing all the cool stuff people print.

All kinds of potential with this one. Fun addon for sure.
@@3DPrintSOS Please use the ice packs instead of the cooling fan, wind will make the nozzle get clogged while extruding.
Ice packs are better.

Very cool! Makes me wonder what would be the ideal food for printing?
I wonder if mashed potato would be the perfect consistency or not
@@3DPrintSOS I think the heat of the nozzle would work to our advantage there--potato pancakes anyone?
On the chocolate, I think the results would be improved if each layer is allowed to cool and harden completely before the next layer of molten chocolate is applied.
Very true. If I have a little break in vids, I’ll try again.

Would it not be possible to mount the extruder on the tube portion to increase z axis space?
Maybe. But there’s a hinged door there
@@3DPrintSOS What's the doors use? If it doesn't need to be opened often, then you could print some sort of bar clamp to mount it there.
You need the door to put the chocolate in
@@3DPrintSOS Makes sense, thanks for replying. This channel is like a user's manual for the aquila
At least you can eat your mistakes!! 😆 this is awesome!
And you best believe I ate all of them
@@3DPrintSOS I bet your daughter helped 😎
Much to my surprise, she stayed away from this one. Must have been disappointed in my performance.
How did I know the first print would be a chocolate benchy? LOL Probably needs to have a slightly lower temperature so the chocolate has more of a gel consistency, which would avoid the dribble issue as well. Creality squirrel chess pieces would make good Easter projects.
You know I had to do it. Yep, I had the temps to high it seems.
Hi Fedor you have talked with me before but when you get the Ui for the aquila that you got do you have to change your cura settings
Not sure I understand the question but I’ll try. Cura settings don’t really change between the Aquila, C2, or X2. Only the retraction setting changes for the S2. However the Aquila Pro changes that completely. It’s built on different system.
If you are referring to this chocolate extruder, you have to use their own profiles. Otherwise, it won’t work correctly.
Hope that helped.
@@3DPrintSOS I am trying to say when you update the firmware on the Aquila do you have to change the cura settings I hope you know what I mean
@@3DPrintSOS or if you want to we could talk on your discord channel
Nope. You should be able to just flash it. As long as it’s the correct firmware.
Sure, I’m in there often.
i change out the mother board on my voxelab 3d print it still dose beeping
If it beeps, it’s likely the thermistor. Not the motherboard.
So weird. I do want this though. Definitely a benchy. I wonder how elaborate a design you could make with this. Might be fun for weddings or something like that.
Edit: looking at the site it says you can print in cheese. I'd love to see a cheese model if you can figure it out.
“Honey, what are you up to?” “Oh nothing, just printing with cheese in the basement”. Haha. What an idea! Love it.

I think tempering the chocolate first would make it harden better
Yea but…
Is it food safe?
