After viewing the price of the Coacoa Press, I set out to create my own 3D printer that prints in food but for only $250, creating the FDM (Food Depositing Manufacturing). I used a four year old Ender 3 as the base, and modified the exrusion mechanism to pump any viscous food through a tube, into the nozzle by a 150Ml syringe mounted at the top.
