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…
Is this true also for microplastics? I am aware of the marketing claims and the helpfull oversight of the needed bioreactor but i thought that was in part due tl the larger pieces. Wondering about micro
Honestly, I love 3d printing, but I still worry about microplastics in the environment.
It’s complicated but PLA is bio-degradable … eventually. Not months but years. That’s much better than the horrors you see on Blue Planet II.
