A 3D filament-fed printer, using spaghetti.
Most of this would be essentially as standard. I think the
hardest part of this would be getting the filament to a
consistently printable (al dente)
consistency.

**aside 1
When I was a child, making a collage using a variety of
shapes of pasta was a recognised activity. If a shape
was too hard to make directly, you could boil up some
spaghetti and roll your own. This is the inspiration for
this idea.
**aside 2
Nowadays, science posters are getting more and more
technologically advanced, but somehow some of the
craft is being lost. It occurred to me that it would be fun
to make a fully serious poster for a conference, with
pasta-based diagrams.

And glitter. There must be glitter (and over-use of glue...). |

...and since the Big Bad Wolf was dead the fourth little piggy said; "Screw this!" and he made his house out of extruded pasta and lived happily ever after. |

Cool. I was all set to mfd the idea, then I saw the article
reports the printer as using semolina dough, so it's not quite
the same.
That's going to give a much better build quality, but I
suspect at a rather slower printing rate than I imagine this
method could manage. |
