Read the full FAQ
Is this a chocolate printer or a filament printer?

Cocoa Press is a dedicated chocolate 3D printer. Print Kits projects use an appropriate FDM filament printer.

What is separate from the DIY kit?

Printed structural parts are separate. Print them yourself or add the red and brown printed and heatset parts set. A soldering iron is needed if you print your own structural parts. The prepared set has its heatset inserts installed. Check the product listing for the current contents.

Do I need 3D printing experience?

Previous 3D printing experience is recommended for the DIY kit. The Professional Package comes assembled. Both still require learning how to prepare designs and work with chocolate.

Can I use my own chocolate?

Cocoa Cores offer a formulated starting point. Other chocolate requires experimentation with material behavior and print settings. Read the current printing documentation before planning a custom recipe.

Can a school or business use a purchase order?

Contact the Cocoa Press team to discuss your setup, purchasing requirements and current availability.

Where is the Professional Package available?

The current Pro listing is for the United States, with an approximate two-month lead time. Contact the team to confirm timing and eligibility before planning your purchase.
