As one of my first ever self designed Prints and 3D Models, I wanna do a big organiser for my Kitchen! This is my current progress on that:
One of my friends gave me a word of caution to use the right filament when it comes to storing things like Sugar, Pepper, Salts and Tea Bags with Printed Plastics. So I wanted to ask if any of you have Good Safe Filament Recommendation for this type of thing? I heard PETG is supposedly safe, is that true? Thanks!
PETG is food safe. However! Because FDM is full of gaps, cracks, and voids, NEVER use it to store food that can spoil. Food bits can get trapped in these voids and present a persistent risk for foodbourne illness.
Granulated sugar would be fine if it’s kept very dry, however do note that said voids will not make an airtight container. So I wouldn’t even use it for stuff affected by humidity or oxygen.
If anything I’d almost suggest clearing the inside with a food safe platinum silicone, which should solve most of these issues.
