The high number of failed attempts has shown beyond reasonable doubt that you might be able to print chocolate in 2D (or even in bas-relief) but you cannot create real 3D printed chocolate structures. And even if you were able to do it to a degree, you cannot do it in high res and you definitely cannot do it without ruining the taste and consistency properties of chocolate.
Cost efficient 3D printer manufacturer Afinia 3D reported on the story of professional monster truck driver Rosalee Ramer and how 3D printers made it possible for her to pursue her dream.
