The Croissant Roller was an individual project I did at home in an effort to make the perfect croissant. The goal was to make a 3D printed roller powered by a drill that would easily adjust and roll croissant dough. Automatically rolling the dough is essential because the more you touch croissant dough with your fingers, the more the butter melts and the layers homogenize, which has significant effects on the individual layers you strive for in croissants. The project included a lot of 3D printing and design-optimization for strength and aesthetics. It also combined some metal lathed parts and wood components. Another feature of the design, which was done in Fusion360, is that the roller is very compact and can be stored in any home kitchen. It also works well for its given purpose but could be used to roll other doughs or clay.
