Printer cartridge with a chocolate mass, in particular for 3d printing of a chocolate finished product

A method, comprising as method steps

• a) provision of
• i) a device comprising a temperature setting device, and
• ii) a container comprising a chocolate mass;
• b) bringing the container into contact with the device;
• c) setting the chocolate mass by means of the temperature setting device to a moulding temperature;
• and
• d) moulding the chocolate mass at the moulding temperature by means of a nozzle having an outlet opening by overlaying a substrate with the chocolate mass to obtain a chocolate moulded body,
• wherein the outlet opening of the nozzle follows a three-dimensional trajectory;
• wherein the chocolate mass, in method steps b) to d), reaches a maximum temperature of not more than 40° C.

A 3D printer, comprising a container,

• wherein the container comprises
• a) an outer wall,
• b) an opening and
• c) a chocolate mass,
• wherein the outer wall at least partially encloses an inner space,
• wherein the inner space comprises the chocolate mass,
• wherein the container is arranged and configured such that by exertion of force on the chocolate mass or the outer wall or both, at least part of the chocolate mass can be dispensed from the opening of the container,
• wherein the chocolate mass comprises a total fat content,
