Ray Scheufler was inspired to build his own automated drink dispensing machine and cotton candy machine.  With some help from a friend, he assembled it in a few days.  While it works with butane lighters held underneath, Ray wanted something more permanent and easy to use.  He decided to mount a pair of Bic lighters to the frame.   Using a custom makerbotted part he built a rig to hold the Bics on.  This would allow easy production of the candy.
