An obsidian 3d print is less crazy than you might think. It's essentially rapidly cooled lava.
Need something to hold the lava, then pressurize it to squeeze it through a nozzle that that has attached cooling units.
I think you just described a volcano.
We're in luck! They already sell that nozzle!
Simple: bucket of lava, bucket of water, repeat.
Grabs a bucket. Quick, to the lava depository!
Using a planet for a 3d printer's nozzle still sounds pretty crazy.
