  I don’t. Fdm printing has very small cracks at the layer lines. It wouldn’t be quite as bad as say, something with food, or for a close shave rather than a trim, but bacteria will grow in it.

  Fdm cannot be reasonably sterilized. Resin printers are better, but not perfect. Even if it doesn’t cause infections, it’s going to pick up an odor.
