You need to use (the expensive) platinum cure silicone for it to be safe.
Comment on Is it medically safe to you a butt plug made with PETG plastic?

A potential idea after reading the bad with attempting the PETG route would be to create a mold from the 3d print.
Look into silicone casting. Or whatever grade you would legit need to be safe. Not sure if pure silicone is the right route or not. At least it’s an idea of a starting point.

Wouldn’t it still require a tremendous amount of sanding down the 3D print to get the mold to actually be smooth? Depending in the intended goal, the shape may make it hard to sand it down.
And yes, I WILL assume some utterly degenerate and non-conventional shapes if you start a conversation on 3D printing buttplugs.

Resin coating, vapor smoothing, plastic primer and heat resistant paint, priming + sanding combo for many hours.
Either was it is probably cheaper to just buy a silicone buttplug or another body safe material.

You could always try printing in ABS and do an acetone smooth to make it a nice surface There are also filaments that can be smoothed with IPA (isopropyl alcohol) that might work so long as the goal is just to make a mold.

Platinum cured silicone is the industry standard, last I checked.

Thanks bud. Happy plugging!
