I'm just starting to get into the printing scene (still haven't received my first printer, the waiting is getting very old very fast), when it occurred to me that I may need to be careful if I ever get a bird like I've been thinking about. I searched around and had little luck, so I thought I'd ask here if any of you have seen or heard anything useful.
Obviously I would never expose a bird to ABS fumes. That's just stupid, as it's a recipe for a dead bird and a lot of tears.
My questions are:
- [1] Is printing PLA without a fume collection device typically considered safe around pets?
[2] Should a pet get a hold of something I've printed, either out of PLA or ABS, and chewed it, would just chewing it be harmful?
[3] Same as above, but including ingestion of the chewed bits?
[4] If I had to choose ABS or PLA, would a pet getting a hold of something made of one of those be worse than the other?
[5] If I can typically consider one of these plastics safe for a pet, could I reasonably make objects designed for a pet to play around with? Certain parrots like puzzles, and imo it would be cool to design progressively harder puzzles to solve.
