Nice design and great print dude. I wouldnt worry for myself too much, but I defo agree with others about health concerns. I wonder where are all "food safe" haters now haha (dont hate me, I love you all 😘). Its always funny to read stories for and against "food safe" printing, but since this is more serious than one-time-use cookie cutters everyone remains quite it seems. What is the difference, do you guys think cookie cutters, popcorn bowls or cups are less dangerous? Personaly Im not really concerned about my own health, but I think its unfair if you dont warn others about dangers and let them decide if they want to use it or not.
Like many others, Ive been printing respirator adapters in the begining of covid pandemic. Hospitals were moding respirators to use one device for 2 patients and that thing did more good than harm for sure in that life or death situation. I feel proud for contributing and I believe it actually did no harm (no prove), but it would be stupid to claim that adapters were safe even for one-time-use. There are so many laws, certificates, procedures,...that try to protect us from buying unsafe products made in garage by guys like me. In meantime, kids eat snow, suck dirty fingers, chairs and what not they pick from the ground and then we hear thats normal and it improves our immunity hehe
TLDR: think with your head, make your own decisions and dont listen to every guy on the internet 😉
