I've produced several hundreds, maybe close to a thousand brass nozzles in about a year. I love brass as a workable material. But, I think I've probably consumed about a pound of this stuff, just by it getting in the air or through skin contact. I'm kind of afraid of becoming the mad hater at this point.
What's the next best thing? Eventually, people are going to need a food safe material to print with and the lead content in brass makes it nonviable. Aluminum is too soft and wears out over time. Copper erodes and wears down. Stainless steel is not thermally conductive. I've thought about glass, but that's a long shot. Maybe just plain steel? Any ideas?
