Army of Bunnies by zxqueb

As everyone knows, the top of a muffin is easily the most desirable and delicious part.  This is reason for muffin-top pans.  So, it occurs to me that a bunny’s ears are clearly the most delicious part of a chocolate bunny.  With the season of chocolate bunnies and eggs on the horizon, Thingiverse should really have some kind of chocolate mold for bunny ears.  The prizes consist of blog-nods, major kudos, 9000 internet points, and everlasting fame on the internets.  One prize to each of the following:

• First to design a plastic mold for chocolate bunny ears (look to Chris Palmer’s work for inspiration)
• First to print a plastic mold for chocolate bunny ears
• First to create chocolate bunny ears out of a printed plastic mold
• First to directly print bunny ears out of chocolate (use a frostruder or some other kind of chocolate extruder)

Here are a few items from Thingiverse to help you on your way:

3D Scan of Chocolate Bunny by CocoNut

Simplified 3D laser scan of a chocolate bunny that I made a while back. PS. I'd love to see pictures if anybody builds the bunny with a MakerBot!

PolyChocolate | Icosahedron Alpha V.03 Five Part by chriskpalmer

The first of a series of molds to be made with a makerbot to make chocolate polyhedra. Modified to lay down so there are no overhangs during build. Makes an Icosahedron 3 cm from corner to corner.

Army of Bunnies by zxqueb

This is a remake of the bunny trouble game, which had some hard time printing for me due to the angle of the ears. Also, I wanted the bunny to be a but more chunky in relation to the hex base.
