Pasta Dryer by fma

In the past, I’ve decried the lack of kitchen-related items on the Thingiverse, but previous few of us (myself certainly included) have done much to fill in this gap.

It thus gives me all the more pleasure to share this brilliant, largely 3d-printed solution to one of mankind’s oldest and most challenging culinary problems: the drying of fresh, hand-made pasta.

At one time or another, our less culinarily-oriented partners have all walked in on a horror scene of kitchen chairs festooned with eggy, yellow strands, fresh from our well-loved Marcato Atlas.  If only we had known we were just a few dowels and 3d-printed connectors away from a workable pasta-drying solution!  Think of the pasta-related arguments we would have been spared…

Thank you fma for your thoughtful design!

This is a pasta dryer, inspired from ones you can buy. But this one is printable!

    Thanks for you nice article :o )

    I’m sure some people will soon make some derivative things, with more designed parts (for example, the several ‘support’ parts could be made with only one helicoidal part).

    BTW, I love the “horror scene of kitchen chairs festooned with eggy, yellow strands, fresh from our well-loved Marcato Atlas”!
