We’ve all heard stories of the dangers of 3D printing, with fires from runaway hot ends or dodgy heated build plates being the main hazards. But what about the particulates? Can they actually…

    Wow who would have thunk the chemicals getting dumped into the environment by the fucking oil industries could be dangerouse. There are a million 3d printing materials u can use and have decent extraction and ur fine. Guy u need to be scared 3d printers might give the consumer too much power, cant have foss technology winning out.

        Petroleum comes from sea creatures, why do you think plastic derived from corn is going to be safe?

          Petroleum comes from crude oil. Crude oil is the remains of the first forests. Where did you get this idea that it comes from sea creatures?

          Okay buddy ya wanna get specific? Let’s get specific. Sea creatures are made up of protons and neutrons. So was Hitler. Coincidence??? Checkmate? Nah we aren’t done yet buddy.

          What are protons and neutrons made up of? Quarks! You know what else is made up of quarks? My average sized penis.

          Do you think my penis is considered safe? What about sea creatures? I think you have a lot of research work to do in physics and polymers.

            You’re not wrong, but the idea that “plant based” is “safe” isn’t right either. Plants can create all kinds of horribly toxic, carcinogenic compounds – especially when burned or heated.

            Wood smoke of all things is mildly carcinogenic and we cook our food with it.
