Nope. As far as extrusion printing goes: normal 3D printing filament is not food safe and the tiny stairstep layers would be perfect breeding grounds for bacteria and plaque impossible to properly clean. For resin printing: that shit's toxic in liquid form, very bad idea to ingest as a solid, and dust from the hardened prints (like if you sand a nub down) when breathed in works like asbestos on your lungs.
