Sounds terrible. But I encourage you to try it, it is a good exercise in understanding the material better. Maybe try a smaller scale first

I don’t know what PLA cost but this is $25 and will actually do the job.
No. Go buy a shovel, it will probably be cheaper than the filament anyway and actually be able to do what you want.
No. First hit it’ll chip or break. For ice you need steel.
No
How big is the printer? This sounds like a very expensive, bad idea.
I was thinking something like a chisel, but yeah, these comments suggest even that would break before the ice.
Try salt?
