Please do not eat food served via a 3d printed tool/plate/bowl/cup. A number of the materials that are used for 3d printing are toxic (cross contamination is likely even if the material has been changed), and the plastic can contain small abrasion which are impossible to sanitize.

That's putting it mildly - every 3D print has tons of small crevices and imperfections even just from the layer lines alone, it's just completely impossible to keep a 3D print clean between repeated food contact. Unless it's sealed with resin or similar, but that's also not easy to get right.

This is a big reason why I don't like plastic dishware, cups, etc even when they are made with food-safe materials.
