Hi AZFIREBALL, I am checking some manual x-y tables and add the motors to make it auto. Do you think of any other ideas without moving parts. I was thinking some kind of path/rail/slider from the nozzle which can make that spiral. Is this possible? Thanks

Hi Azfireball, Can you tell us how automated you would like the operation to be. Will someone be operating and monitoring this system at all times while in use? Yes!. Because someone should be watching the shape and make sure it is spiral and the edges around it is sharp (star). Also If we...

Hi NTL2009, Thanks for your ideas! Sure I will keep you guys up to date on my progress. I am checking on the x-y table too, also thinking of adding arduino to sync the speed. Looks like acutator internally has the threaded screw. I will find out more on this.

The batter is still enough to flow by gravity, but it won't fall like a straight line since it has some the star design around it. I guess it can go around the tube without breaking into pieces. I will try adding a straw to test it out.

Hi AZFIREBALL, I will check some store. I am from Sri Lanka.

Hi AZFIREBALL, Yes, I was able to see that spiral coming. What is the name of this filler/pusher that you have attached please. Thanks.

Hi AZFIREBALL, Thanks a lot for the wonderful ideas and diagrams. I am trying to catch up on the concepts. Also learning the new terminologies. Looks like I can try the tube table approach. The dough is somewhat delicate when it comes out thin. I hope it will not break into parts when it goes...

Wow! AZFIREBALL, thank you very much. Could you please explain this part : "Start extruding the dough from the center outward by moving the handle to the side as the batter flows out" The motor is fixed in the center of the screen carrier or by the side? I thought you have it in the side...

Hi Jrmichler, Thank you!. I did some search on the idea and the keywords you mentioned, This is what I came across : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=threaded+rod+linear+motion. "Also the Lead Screw". Is that what you are referring to please?

Hi Azfireball, I am deep frying this in oil. Also at a time, 5 can be fried. About the drawings and pictures, I am thinking of creating the turntable/lazysusan table using, stepper motor, so that I can control the speed and move. Also saw this on ebay which kind of does the same but doesn't move...

Hi Azfireball, Thanks for the next steps of ideas. I will try taking that rotating table. I hope that we can make that spiral perfect by adjusting the speed of this rotating table. I cannot control the Dow speed since it is fixed speed.

Hi Jrmichler, Thank you very much for your suggestion I will try that. I can make the turn table but need to find a way to move the turn table a side.

Hi Everyone! I am trying to a DIY project to make a food maker. I am 50% succeeded with that and need help for the remaining 50%. The idea is to produce the output shown in the first image. That food is made with a flour. So I have the setup a pressing machine shown in image2. In this I was...
