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!

    Lead is used as a stabilizer in brass. So, commercial you’d never hit food safety standards with a brass nozzle.

    Personally, I’m not so worried. I’ve made some 3d-printed cookie cutters. It’s heaps safer than the stainless steel cookie cutters we had as a kid that my old man had repaired with 60/40 soldering tin.
