PancakeBot is now on sale, ready to print wild designs -- even faces (pictures)
The final, full production version of the $299 PancakeBot is now on sale and was on display at the International Home & Housewares Show 2016. I decided to give it the ultimate test, printing my face in the form of a pancake.
Behold the shipping PancakeBot model
The final production model of the $299 PancakeBot was on display at IHHS 2016. It's available in hues of red and black.
Make sure to batter up
The PancakeBot relies on its own reservoir of batter which you supply.
Manual controls for fine-tuning
There's a control panel on the PancakeBot for tweaking the batter dispensing pressure as well as arm position.

Trace faces into designs first
You'll need to first use special software to trace photos into designs the PancakeBot can understand.

The PancakeBot demonstrated the ability to print other faces from photos. These included presidential candidates such as Bernie Sanders shown here.
