What's an option without tiny holes? I've heard of resin and laser printing which is higher resolutolion, do you know anything like that?
I'm the past there were hot ends (the print head) that may contain lead, so there is also that to consider.
The solution I read about in the past was to coat the part at the end with something food safe, like glazing for ceramics.
Of course you have to be careful about cleaning these plastics, PLA can't handle dishwasher temperatures.
For food processing, the entire part has to be food safe - in case it breaks and winds up in a bag of Cheetos or something
That makes sense, thank you for pointing it out! I can't see plastic 3D printed parts complying with that.
