3D printed Murukku plate

thingiverse

It is Diwali festival time now in India. Time for sweets , snack and joy !!! There is a traditional snack called Murukku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murukku) in Tamilnadu , many of the homes in (south) India will do it for the occasion. We lost the murukku plate of our murukku making hand press wooden (mold) machine. I thought let me make a simple plate with a hole to suite our hand press machine quickly. Did a simple 46mm diameter 2mm thick plate with 5mm triangular hole in center. It took 8 min to print (PLA based on our assembled printrbot). It worked and we made a tin full of murukku for our Diwali. Thought of sharing.... Happy Diwali..... Instructions It is simple - just 3D printed this plate dropped in the wooden mold and squeezed the dough through the hole to the hot oil and fried the murruku.(getting only the plate is hard in shops, as they only sell full set that is full murukku making hand press + mould with plates) Why to buy a full set again , make one plate yourself quickly.
