Burritob0t – 1st iteration prototype

I completed the 3D printer’s mechatronic platform of my Burritob0t, minus the Y belt, an Arduino Mega and RAMPS stepper controller shield. I devised a hack for linear motion since I couldn’t acquire any MakerSlide. I laser cut 1/16″ black

Slow Rapid Prototyping

I”ve come to the painfully obvious yet liberating epiphany that I’m just going to have to do every step of the 3d printer assembly at least twice (often more time). The burritobot build is slogging along in fits-and-starts as I

Spicy Salsa Caviar

Salsa as caviar? Pop! Imagine the juxtaposition of separated flavors colliding upon anticipation to explode like gastronomic fireworks when hitting the eager tongue. Spherification, as its called, is the culinary process of shaping a [any?] liquid into spheres which visually

Kickstart Stop Motion

I wanted to create some sort of video for Burritob0t to serve as a both a Kickstarter video and high resolution demo video of my thesis concept. After a marathon 5 days straight shooting stop motion – frame-by-frame animating bean,

Burritob0t.net.ness

Burritob0t.net and burritob0t.com are now live. Not much more than splash functionality as I keep working on the web app section. I designed a logo for Burritob0t that is, naturally, a cute robot happily munching on a burrito. I also

Burritob0t Models

As expected, my research and designs of the food printer has evolved and will continue change form I expect. My first cardboard prototype was modelled after Cornell’s Fab@Home diy printer. It was a good template to start with as it

Burritob0t will have a web app interface for customizing and printing a burrito. The web app is being developed in Ruby (with Heroku backend) which I’m learning as I go along. The environment is very robust and fun to program
