This amazing 3D printer known as 3Drag, outfitted with a pastry bag or a heated syringe is capable of printing using any type of chocolate with great precision. To print with chocolate you will need to purchase an additional syringe extruder specifically designed for this purpose, the system works by heating the syringe to a lower temperature than conventional extruders. A needle inserted into the tip of the syringe is heated to a slightly higher temperature, the automated feeder then carefully pushes down on the piston of the syringe forcing the melted chocolate out the tip.
