[@metacollin]

Lots of misinformation in the comments regarding safety :/ 1. PLA itself is simply lactic acid, which is what builds up in our muscles from exercise and is largely responsible for muscle soreness the next day after some heavy physical activity - it's being produced by your body's metabolism as you read this, and there is always measurable amounts in our blood. It's also present in many foods, especially fermented dairy (cheese, kefir, sour cream). PLA is poly lactic acid, which is simply lactic acid that has been linked to itself in a chain. It does not contain BPA or any other xenoestrogen. In fact, the only plastic that contains trace amounts of BPA is polycarbonate. 2. PLA as a material is not only safe, but biocompatible. That means it can be used as a material for surgical procedures where something made out of PLA will actually be implanted in your body. This requires a much higher degree of safety/compatibility than merely passing something through your GI tract. I can speak from personal experience: I snapped my ACL skiing some years ago, and they cut out a piece of another ligament to create a replacement, then bolted the strip of knee meat directly onto onto both bones of my knee joint. They actually drilled holes into the bone, threaded them, and (hopefully using knippex cobras ;) ), screwed bolts into those bones to hold the new ligament in place until it grafted onto the bone by itself. Those bolts were made entirely of PLA. Conveniently, PLA will eventually be broken down and absorbed just like any other lactic acid, but it takes a couple months or so. So the screws don't have to be removed, they just get metabolized (but slowly enough so they hold stuff in place long enough for it to heal. 3. PLA as a filament is only food safe if that specific filament is food rated (meaning FDA approved in the US at least, I'm sure there is something similar in the EU). This means that the feed resin was processed in a way that ensures nothing unsafe as leached into it from equipment etc., that the filament was likewise extruded with equipment that wouldn't leach anything or maybe extruded through stuff that had also extruded other things like ABS. And finally, it means that any additives/colorants mixed into the filament is also food grade. Most PLA filament is not food safe simply because it uses unsafe dyes to color it, so you do need to use filament that is explicitly rated for food contact. PETG is also safe and can be found in food grades. 4. Unfortunately, even if you use food grade filament, that doesn't make anything you print safe for food contact. Food safe filament is only one piece of that puzzle. The filament must be food safe, but so does every part of the 3D printer that it touches as it is extruded into a 3d printed object. As far as I know, there is no food-rated extruder and hot end available at this time. 5. If you're thinking about ignoring #4 for personal use... you really shouldn't. A standard E3D hotend seems innocent enough, right? Well, most brass contains 1-2% lead by weight, and lead has a much lower melting point than brass. This means it migrates to the surface as the brass alloy cools, and can leach out easily. The end result is that most industrial brasses, like the kind used in brass nozzles, leach lead out and onto anything they come into contact with at a much higher rate than one would expect given the amount of lead in the brass. So you can definitely expect anything printed with a brass nozzle to contain lead. And there is no safe level for lead exposure. And it is cumulative, you basically want to minimize lead ingestion over your entire lifetime. That's just one of the issues that one might not expect. Sure, you might use a stainless steel nozzle, and I wouldn't be surprised if that yielded mostly food-safe prints. But it might not, and I don't think anyone has really done the studies yet to make sure. TLDR: for now, keep 3d printing away from your mouth.

[@DanaTheLateBloomingFruitLoop]

Really useful info. Thank you. One thing that I don't understand is why PLA parts are used in surgery when there is no way to make them even food-save, even though the material is fine. Where they printed in a different way or maybe mold casted?

[@dominikwerle4254]

@@DanaTheLateBloomingFruitLoop: metacollin never said the PLA Bolts were printed. But even if they were, they were most probably made in a special environment specifically for medical products. There it would for sure not be done on a consumer machine but on a specifically built machine that is safe. Theoretically it is not difficult to make PLA printed products safe. It just means effort in engineering and production.

[@lordRW]

Stainless steel is food safe, most cooking ware is made from stainless steel, even cast iron/iron is food safe though aluminum doesn't have to be food safe even though a lot of people have cooked food in aluminum containers for years ( i dont know why aluminum cans are food safe though) its not recommended. its however actually recommended to make food with iron tools if you dont eat enough meat and you are a girl because of the iron in blood and hence girls need more iron than boys.

I just have to say that was a very impressive way to show off this filament. I think this is a good indicator of potential future applications of 3d printing in the home.

[@lambdaman3228]

> I see no reason that hurdle won't be overcome in the future. How about the fact that FDM printers create small voids in the objects they print by the very nature of how they operate, and objects with small voids that can capture food are not food safe no matter what material they are made from? There is no food safe FDM printed anything at any temperature.

[@skoue4165]

I would be a lot less worried about the plastic than the washer. I would swap that out for a Stainless steel one. There are a few metals used to fight rust on bolts and washers and none of them are food safe. It's probably zinc or mostly zinc, a bit better than "galvanizing" which had a lot of lead in it but not "good". Cadmium is also a common metal used on higher end hardware and it is also not good to consume. In general it's probably not too bad since it is only touching the water. Coffee is fairly acidic and would leach out a lot more of what you don't want to consume. Plastic and toxicity has been discussed a LOT in the home brewing community. Even with beer (pretty acidic + alcohol) white and clear plastics have a pretty negligible amount of plasticizer leaching. It is generally very inert. It's mostly the dies in colored plastics that are a worry. If I were going to use it every day I would look at the food safe specks on this plastic, but for a rare use novelty I wouldn't be very worried. Again I would be a lot more concerned with the heavy metal aspects of the washer.

[@fabianbinder3681]

S Koue most stainless steels aren’t suitable for induction ovens since they are not magnetic. Buying one with these special properties just for this proof of concept would be overkill - and expensive.

[@zfotoguy71]

A lot of people are discussing the possibility of PLA being toxic or not. I read that PLA is food safe, however further testing needs to be done. The concern I have is the washer you placed in the bottom of the pot. It appeared to be a standard washer with a coating on it. Usually that coating is zinc to keep it from rusting. This is what I would be most concerned about because it is in direct contact with your water while you are heating it with the induction stove. Look up Zinc Poisoning or Toxicity.

[@macelius]

It is non-toxic, and technically can be made in to food-safe objects, same with PETG, but due to the layers resulting from FDM printing biological material can get in between the layers and bacteria can grow, which is very hard to impossible to clean and sanitize properly, so technically the items created from FDM printing are not food safe.

[@gotsane]

putting the knob on during annealing brings an interesting idea to me. I wonder if you could anneal multiple parts together at the same time so that their shrinkage is uniform. The parts should fit together as intended and the only issue would be the perimiters of the item. At least thats how my half caffinated brain is taking it right now....

[@sword7166]

If you try to anneal parts that are touching, I suspect there's a chance of them welding together so I'd keep an eye out for that

[@alexpollard450]

Could you try annealing it first and then see how it prints? I know you would have to raise the temperature but it would still be cool to see if you could print it and what the quality would be.

[@busterdafydd3096]

you say it's more than printing fidget spinners, but it's not food safe. Almost all plastics you can print are food safe, what people are saying when it comes to printing is that layer lines increases the likelihood of microbial (or their bi-products) getting into your food. If you want it food safe get rid of your layer lines, two ways I can see people doing it easily and that is sanding to a very fine grit, or using some epoxy resin coating over the food utensil so that you have one continuous layer on the surface of your print.

If you want to go the extra mile you could design your coffee maker in a way that it compensates for the shrinkage ;-) This would (of course) involve a lot of calibration and testing beforehand...

Health hazard is not only the filament. Your nozzle carries residue from your past prints at least, if not any other dirt collected on nozzle. If you have printed ABS, Nylon etc before this on same nozzle, you should be aware those filaments residue take a lot of time to clean out since they require higher temperature than the PLA.

Cool as a demonstration, probably won't hurt to test either just once. Not good for you several times and do not assume cleaning it will at all work, this is like pouring it on the floor, mopping it up again and then drinking it from a normal cup. Worked with this in a hydroponics research setting. Like people mentioned, residues, non-sterile printer, PLA is found food-grade however the worst is that bacteria end up cultivating in the uneven surface caused by a FDM printer, impossible to get out and other cleaning agents won't get into the crevices well enough, a surface finish or spraying it is not good enough and will only make it more pleasing for the eye. You need a really thick coat that is food-grade, assume a few mm thick at least.

[@johnnybegood1569]

Do you know how they sterilise medical equipement ? They heat it in an oven. So the filament is extruded at +200°C and then the print is heated in an oven for 20 to 60min at 110°C. Enough to be sterilised. Then you make boil water in it. Using a nonstick pan or consuming sea food is probably more hazardous than that. www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/01/24/seafood-eaters-ingest-11000-tiny-pieces-plastic-every-year-study/

Great, thorough video, once again. I've also had great luck with a modified PLA for high-heat environments.

[@KuraIthys]

So, this raises two immediate and very important questions: (well, 3 actually) 1. Is the filament capable of withstanding the temperatures involved. 2. Is the filament regarded as food safe? 3. Regardless of the material itself, does the printing process contaminate the print in a way that would render it unsafe for use with food? Printing items that are related to food handling has a few innate extra risks unfortunately...

So I printed small and big parts with threads and all of them still worked after annealing. I only noticed some warping if you have really flat parts.

[@SlowlyLosinIt]

It was heated on the induction stove top. Induction heating is used by magnetic induction instead of using a flame or heating element. So yes, he got it hot by putting it on the stove. Direct quote from wikipedia on how it works, "a coil of copper wire is placed under the cooking pot and an alternating electric current is passed through it. The resulting oscillating magnetic field induces a magnetic flux which repeatedly magnetises the pot, treating it like the lossy magnetic core of a transformer. This produces large eddy currents in the pot, which because of the resistance of the pot, heats it." I'm guessing this is why he put the metal washer/ring on the bottom of the pot. @CNC Kitchen, is this correct?

[@CNCKitchen]

You are 100% right.

[@CNCKitchen]

The water is heated by the washer which is in the bottom of the pot. And this washer is heated by induction. I did try this out beforehand with a 3D printed pot in which I boiled water. You can find a clip here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imaXZaqqbc2kjJo

If you can prove that there's no chemical byproducts when you boil water in this thing then I think it's a great idea. But not enough research has been done to prove it's safe.

Sach mal, die Tasse, war die vor dem Backen schon dicht? hab mir das Filament gekauft und auch eine Stoormtrooper Tasse gedruckt, aber die ist nicht dicht :/

[@CNCKitchen]

War dicht. Ein bisschen über- und breiter extrudieren, 3 perimeter und dann klappt das normalerweise.

[@andreasklein4018]

@@CNCKitchen Hab 3Perimeter genommen, ich Druck nochmal eine Tasse mit mehr Extrusion, Danke für den Tipp.

Es gibt aber Lebensmittelechtes fillament. Weisst du evtl. was darüber?

[@CNCKitchen]

There are plenty of food safe filaments on the market. The question is, if they are still food safe after they ran through your printer. There are many things which might end up in the filament. Then there is the problem, that in the small gaps between the layers bacteria can settle and live a quite happy life. This filament might also be food save, they just haven't had it tested yet.

@CNC Kitchen 3dk top Filament seems to be made of food safe materials - is available in white color - and would definitely withstand higher temperatures ;-) 3dk.berlin/de/home/200-3dktop-weiss-hitzebestandig-bis-230c.html
