Effect of Temperature Setting on 3d Printer Machine for Chocolate Printing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The food industry has taken advantage of additive manufacturing technology to create food from complex ingredients customized as needed. Research on 3d printing of food, especially chocolate, has been carried out, but it needs further development related to nutritional ingredients and the accuracy of printing results. This research was conducted to design an extruder nozzle from a 3D printer used to print chocolate. The extruder nozzle was manufactured using a stainless-steel tube with a diameter of 30 mm with a heater on the outside. The heating control method used a digital thermostat STC-1000, which controls the minimum and maximum operating temperature. The digital thermostat is connected to the heater and fan, which work alternately to get a chocolate temperature distribution that matches the printing specifications. The results showed that the control temperature in the extruder was between 32.2-32.3 °C and could produce an average chocolate printing temperature of 33.4 °C. This configuration produces a stable and continuous extrusion of chocolate on the chocolate 3d printer machine.
