Chocolate's melting behaviour would seem very unlikely to be able to handle the overhang at the bottom of the print, or the internal overhang at the top. While you could support the bottom somehow, you couldn't support the top from collapsing inwards, and a support would be basically a mould (though possibly a bowl you already have then build it up from there | |

| Apr 14, 2025 at 18:48 | comment | added | Daniel B | If the user is unwilling to buy a silicon mold for $10, I doubt they are up to purchasing a 3d chocolate printing pen. | |
| Apr 14, 2025 at 15:02 | comment | added | Andrew Morton | @Sneftel I have no artistic abilities - my limit with chocolate is melting some, mixing in Rice Krispies, and portioning into paper baking cups. | |
| Apr 13, 2025 at 20:30 | comment | added | Sneftel | Is this something you’ve tried? Or, if not, what 3D chocolate shape have you made which convinces you that this is a practical approach? | |
