Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation? (lemmy.world)

Well, that's not ideal, my 3D printer has some PTFE tubing and while I mostly print at maximum of 250˚C, there are some materials I wanted to try that need larger temperatures. Thanks for the info!

I assume the tubing part is the Bowden tube? I don't think that will become much warmer than ambient temp.

Yep, but it's really easy to mess up and make it touch the really hot parts.
