Chocolate Printer of the Day: Researchers in Britain have built a 3D printer that uses chocolate instead of the standard plastic or resin. They're still working on a user interface for the device, and hoping to make it available to online retailers, who could then sell custom-designed chocolates.

The researchers' suggestion to print a chocolate version of a friend's face seems cute at first, but it's probably not quite as flattering once their features start to melt. Unless your friend is Harvey Dent, in which case it's actually sort of perfect.

After the jump: video of the chocoprinter in action.
