Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have witnessed outstanding developments in the past 15 years, particularly in optimizing their pore structures, linkages, and variety of monomers used in their synthesis. Yet, a significant challenge remains unaddressed: the processability of COFs into macroscopic architectures with arbitrary shapes, as they are typically obtained as unprocessable powders. This study presents a novel strategy to address this issue by developing a 3D printable ink comprising a colloidal water suspension of COF nanoparticles. A microfluidic device is engineered that provides precise control over the gelation process of the COF‐based ink, allowing for a layer‐by‐layer fabrication. As a result, the direct production of large‐scale binder‐free COF architectures from digital designs is achieved at room temperature and atmospheric pressure while eliminating the use of toxic organic solvents.
