This is super cool! These guys have taken, what appears to me, some
concepts from cheapo ink jet printers and turned it into a brilliant
piece of innovation.
Sure, it's just hacking around with some commodity parts and ideas, but
it's great that they're doing it for everyone.
The lead guy appears to really like chocolate, and that's great too,
why shouldn't people just whack some cooking chocolate in there with a
heating element and have their own names and stuff to eat :-) Sounds
like a great idea for parties!
