Field notes
The proposed mechanism uses a sliding hopper, two latex bands, and a piston to send a measured pinch of semolina through a nozzle. The listed prototype dimensions are 350 × 164 × 62 mm, and the page says the side panels and bands can be changed without tools. Christian describes the project as a one-person workshop; the planned hand-built batches and spring 2027 timing depend on enough waitlist interest.
