“You need to buy this special heater pad to break the screen adhesive!”

No, I think you will find that in fact I don’t.

        I realize this is a joke…

        But don’t do this. Really. The fdm layers are unhygienic, and there’s a not-insignificant risk of things snapping off and leading to awkward emergency room visits.

        A better solution is printing a 2 part mold and casting silicone.

          I was really impressed by the lulzbot manual mentioning this! Its also important to consider that most 3d prints can be sensitive to water unless sealed too.

            I’m just gonna assume some one printed a butplug, had it snap off leading to said emergency room visit and they tried to sue lulzbot.

      Not from the 3D printing world, but sometimes I’d use our heating plate to reheat pizza LOL! Gotta make sure to clean the surface really well afterwards though.
