Totally agree. For big or heavy objects it is a much better choice to use wood or other materials you can find in a store. There is no need to waste plastic and time to 3D print everything. 3D printing should be only ONE of the possibilities for DIY works.
Very good information! Sometimes you don't think through these things and just print it because you can. "You were so preoccupied with wether you could, that you didn't stop to think if you should" - somebody once.
Thank you for mentioning this. Even petg should not be used since they use chemicals and other products to color these materials that are not safe for consumption since they're not sold as items that are food safe. And if anybody decides to try to make a cookie cutter or products for food, consider it a single time use item and throw it out when you're done because the porous materials will develop bacteria and eventually microplastics will start shutting off into your food and you will be eating it.
that modular shelf thing is the dumbest idea ever. I saw the KS campaign and I thought "why?". I mean I would understand if it did something special, but they are just shelves and they also waste a lot of space (look how thick they are!). they don't give you any benefits over normal shelves you can buy in any store.
They have good idea about modular design. If they could do it by injection molding and sell the components then it is perfect. 3D printing is not the appropriate method to make these
@@gubutek my problem is not with the idea of a modular design but the design itself which is forced to be like that by 3D printing. it's bulky, cumbersome and it waste a lot of space. that's something you can do with a normal wooden unit with movable shelves.
@@johnchristianson515 "You do not have to add a serial number or register the PMF if you are not engaged in the business of making firearms for livelihood or profit." Straight from the ATF website. It does require a detectable amount of metal in it though, which is a reasonable expectation and you'll want a couple metal parts in it anyway.
@@johnchristianson515 If you're in a place where the government wants to know about every one you print that's probably the last government you should be telling lol.
Honestly, I think the fear of chemicals from our 3D printed plastics is a bit overblown. Kind of like the people who freaked out that there was lead within the paint used on vintage ceramicware (safely sealed under glaze). Toxicity is a function of dose and exposure time. I sincerely doubt, in the grand scheme of things, the potential chemical ingestion from using a 3d-printed cookiecutter would even rate a millionth of a percentage point for "toxic chemicals a human has been exposed to." Worry far, far more about the fireproofing chemicals and BPAs in, frankly *damned near everything in your home, from the floor to the ceiling.* Carpet, furniture, light fixtures, clothing--if it's any sort of polymer (plastic), it's probably exposing you to something nasty. And realistically, the odds of even that exposure actually doing you any harm is so negligible, it's practically incalculable. But damned good point on not wasting plastic/creating excess waste 3D printing something that could be better served to be made of another material like wood or metal.
It is in Canada. I edited the subtitles for US laws. It is not the main point I talked about anyway. It is focus on food contacted prints as well as those off-the-shelf products
Although when you 3d print them in some states like my lousy a$$ state of Connecticut it is considered a ghost gun and is illegal but in Texas it is legal amongst many other states God I wish I lived in texas😅
@@dprintingThe funny thing is that the "ghost gun" laws are unconstitutional i.e. illegal yet no one will face any punishment for attacking the Constitution and committing crimes against use real Americans.
Thinks you should print... anything you want. just know the risk involved. PLA is food safe just make sure you ether throw it away after you use it or put a thin layer of food safe epoxy if you plan to use it all the time

very wll said... i never understood why ppl print all kind of stuff u actually can get cheaper in the store...

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for making this video and addressing this; A lot of people need to see this.
Thanks for watching!
I'm having flashbacks of nam
Excellent information, thank you!

Great video!! :) very informative!
unless you buy the ones that say safe for food. so yes you can print things for food
Tbf it's not just the filament. The entire filament pathway has to be food grade.
What if you coat in resin. I heard that makes it food safe.
yes, that what I said. You can use food safe coating for 3D printed parts to make them safe.
@@gubutek thanks I was wondering
Illegal to print lol, I'm in America I can print all the pew pews I want.
hell yeah lol
As long as you register the firing pin with the ATF

@@thirtythreeeyes8624 True, but it is just good practice so that you don't have some local government getting on your case for ghost guns

My pleasure 😊
In the United States it is not illegal to make firearms so probably best not make the false statement that it is illegal.

I think the 3 d printing is threatening the Chinese economy. Lol
Don't care didn't ask 🦅🦅🦅

Yes, as long as you know what you are doing, then it fine
