Anything can be printed with enough heat.

Not to be like that… but… gases would be hard to print, I’m not sure why you’d want to….

Liquids could be interesting, for like, ice sculptures. But at that point you’d be having to extract heat from ambient

  Ice printing could work with supercooled water.

    Eh. That could work, might be more complicated though.
    
    I’m envisioning a freezer for an enclosure, then heat the water to just above melting. This would allow using essentially-fdm set ups on the printer itself.
