No, I think you will find that in fact I don’t.

        I realize this is a joke…

        But don’t do this. Really. The fdm layers are unhygienic, and there’s a not-insignificant risk of things snapping off and leading to awkward emergency room visits.

        A better solution is printing a 2 part mold and casting silicone.

            You can process the inside to be smooth (sanding, priming. If you have a solvent - acetone for abs, as an example. And mold release.)

            Even just using a filler/primer should be enough

          I was really impressed by the lulzbot manual mentioning this! Its also important to consider that most 3d prints can be sensitive to water unless sealed too.

            I’m just gonna assume some one printed a butplug, had it snap off leading to said emergency room visit and they tried to sue lulzbot.

      Sadly not.

      I was told. Without asking. By a long lost friend of a cousin you wouldn’t know.
