Rockin'.

INB4 you get crucified for FDM prints not being "food safe." ...I might just be having flashbacks to that time spent at the other place, though.

I use fdm prints for food all the time. Just use once and throw away. As long as you use steel nozzle I think it's fine no lead dangers.

Yep, not usually safe to reuse your prints or put them in heat or get them wet, but for a single batch of cookies the risk of a 3d printed cookie cutter is pretty minimal.

My wife did me a favor and soaked all my pla cookie cutters in super hot water to get them clean.

I print with PETG and run them through the dishwasher.

If I vapour smooth it with acetone, would be safe then?
