Cocoa Dusting Tool for drinks + Stencil Set

This handy tool lets you make perfect, shaped cocoa powder toppings on cappuccinos, hot chocolates & co., without requiring you to have a dedicated shaker duster like they use in coffeeshops. Just assemble it with your stencil of choice like in the GIF below, fill in some cocoa powder, hold over your drink and turn! ☕

Here you can see the tool in action:

Make sure to put in the stencil FIRST, before the sieve, as shown in the GIF and video above, so that cocoa first reaches the stencil and then the sieve when filled in. In my experience this makes for a much better topping and it requires a lot less cocoa when used, as the powder would otherwise get stuck in every hole of the sieve where the stencil is solid.

– – How to make your own stencil – – 

Prepare your stencil design as a vector graphics (.svg) file. Should you only have a rasterized image, for example a .png, you can use a free online converter to obtain a .svg file (google e.g. “png to svg converter”).

Open up the print profile containing the single template stencil, which is an assembly of an inner disk (blue) and a ring (black). The inner disk shows the maximum area that cocoa can be sieved through, therefore your stencil design must be fully inside it.

Follow the below steps.

1. In the Objects tab on the left, right-click on the assembly, choose Add negative part → SVG. and select your .svg stencil file.

   

2. Resize and position the inserted graphic to fit inside the blue area.

   

3. Change the color of the stencil ring to match the disk by right-clicking the Stencil Ring in the Objects tab and choose Change Filament → Blue Bambu PLA Basic (you can change the whole stencil to whatever color you like afterwards, or leave it two-color if you fancy).

   

4. Slice and print!

– – Notes – – 

Model is designed to be printed in 0.16mm layer height.

If you slice yourself, make sure to use Arachne Wall Generator for the sieve, as the fine meshing may not be sliced otherwise.

If you decide to print this model, I'd love to hear about your experience with it, so please consider leaving a comment and maybe even a picture of your print (and of your cocoa-powdered drink, of course 😁 ).
