Comment on One of my favorite 3D printed organizations. Custom silverware drawer

Kind of annoying to say I was “screaming microplastics” when I simply asked if there was more or less of a risk compared to non-addative manufacturing of plastics. You also seem to have resigned to not being worried about microplastics since it is already a problem.

You and another poster brought up “but there are microplastics everywhere!” Yes, and we are learning about them and their problems. I’ve heard about potential issues about synthetic fabrics. I think it is pretty reasonable to ask about the safety, especially when the science on the effects of microplastics is finally entering the forefront.

As the other commenter said, “not everything is about you”. I didn’t say YOU were saying that. It was a general comment about there always being people wanting to yell about microplastics and bacteria every time someone posts a 3d print anywhere near food related areas. I was just happy to see someone comment something I felt was more reasonable than the constant scolding you see in 3D printing communities usually. This is also why I didn’t reply to you directly. It’s perfectly reasonable to ask about safety and the other commenter already answered your question so I didn’t.

I also didn’t say I wasn’t worried about microplastics since it’s already a problem, but I DID say that I wasn’t worried about ingesting them from this print.

  I see. Surely you can see how it can be interpreted as I did.

    Honestly, not really. If you take into account the context that I wasn’t responding to your comment, but to the other person, and also knowing you weren’t doing what I was talking about, it seems pretty obvious to me that I wasn’t talking about you. You were asking a simple question, and you received an answer. I was praising another person’s comment. So I dunno, you’re entitled to your interpretation, of course, but I obviously wasn’t the only one that knew my comment wasn’t about you.
