/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hi everyone, newbie here.

I am a sole proprietor for a retail smoke accessory online shop (had to take the website down and go on a hiatus due to mental health issues) but I wanted to 3D print prototypes for cool product ideas I had.

ABS has a neurotoxic nature and PLA is apparently compostable/biodegradable to the point where it wouldn't be useful for smoking at all, beyond that fungi and bacteria can live on the surface and in pores (ABS can undergo the acetone finish). PLA is also not too sturdy for what I'll be doing.

I would really appreciate some help because I'm not sure if ABS with acetone finish is safe to smoke out of, apparently one brave soul used PLA already and the only problem was the solidity.

Babbys first printer will be:

I make models with Tinkercad for now. Plan on making smaller pieces of products and piecing them together.

All advice appreciated, constructive criticism as well, including "You stupid fuck you're supposed to do [A] not [B] and heres why: [C]"
