Print it from a normal printer then fire it?

Quite a bit more to it than that.  Pre-heating the filament, a fat nozzle, a post-print heat cycle (I think), and a shrinkage rate of up to 20 percent.

Still a work in progress.

That is still very cool. The visible printing layers remind me of coil-built pottery.

Years ago I made a personal extruder out of PVC pipe. It used a hand drill to extrude. It used regular clay . if memory serves me, I think I used Pam spray as a wall lubricant.
