Bubble tea pearl mold

This is a press/mold I made to avoid having to roll the tapioca pearls when making bubble tea at home.

IMO, the 8mm pearls have the ideal size.

You can edit the mold fairly easily, and making the size_x/y values higher increases the amount of pearls automatically.

Both the top and bottom are included in the press.scad file. switch the boolean from true to false to switch which stl is generated.

## Print settings


I printed my mold at 22% infill using gyroid pattern with PLA at 200C.

## Usage:

The tapioca pearl recipe I use is 3 parts tapioca starch and 1 part **warm/boiling** water. I sometimes have to go with a 9:4 or 9:5 ratio depending on humidity.
I have more ease kneading the dough if it is sifted first.

Wrap both halves in plastic wrap and lightly cover the wrap with tapioca starch to make it not sticky.

When putting the pearl paste/dough in the mold, make sure it is not too thick, around 5-8mm, depending on the size of the mold.
