Wasn’t there a news story recently where someone had actually done this and (obviously) died?

    I think it was an airplane air inlet duct that melted and collapsed. And it was bought from a 3D printing supplier, not printed themselves. The person aboard lived. So it was more subtle, which makes it even more insidious. I.e. even for a simple plastic tube you need the expensive part, for non-obvious reasons.
