    After spending the better part of the last decade implementing e-recycle fees on new purchases and diverting plastic waste from being sent to china, all in the name of them not burning plastic - we turn around and burn plastic for sport. Is burning plastic not the fastest way to trigger cancer? If so why is 3D printing not considered a major health risk?

      This may come as a surprise, but you're not supposed to burn your 3D printed creations.

            I was referring to how the items are created by heating the chemicals.

                Because not all plastics are the same.

                  Oh you want to be serious, how boring :) Well ok, ABS in particular does release some fumes (which you should not inhale too much) when you're printing with it, not as bad as burning it though.

                    Can you give examples of chemicals that are safe to breathe while being heated?

                      Dihydrogen Monoxide is pretty safe.

                                  Really? IF thats what you think, I've got a live steam vent I want you to sniff. :laugh:

                                  Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                    Everything is dangerous once you get it outside a pretty narrow temperature window: that's a property of organic life forms, not of the material being heated! :laugh:
