Olive oil is non-toxic, yet if you heat it up too much, you'll get a good dose of acrolein. Just because something is non-toxic does not mean it stays that way

- ravenstine 8y agoIt depends on how much you heat it up, though. What people are expecting from 3D printers is enough heat to melt the filament but not too much so the filament releases fumes or burns. I'm not saying that's how it works in practice, but I think that's how people see it and why they're surprised.
