It's the perfect balance of fine craftsmanship and "if it works" mentalities.

I need to emboss that quote somewhere on the printer.

Plastics being considered cancerous is nothing new. You melt plastics in something that doesn't give much thought to fumes, then you'll get plastic fumes in the air.

I absolutely hate the smell of plastic so I already avoid it when possible. If you're melting plastics you should at least consider a mask or opening a window. They don't say you need good air circulation because of allergies

 

Those who are familiar with cancer know it's a numbers game. Any basic steps you can take (i.e. opening a window) that could lower your odds should at least be considered.

can we talk about how carcinogen is a stupid name that people who dont have previous knowledge dont understand. I had to google translate it. How hard would it be to say cancerrogen or whatever?!

The type of articles " *insert thing everyone uses every day* causes cancer!" is what really causes cancer

What if oxygen is a previously unknown human carcinogen but it takes it 90+years to kill us?

Ok, plastic fumes cause cancer. What's new?

Talking on the phone gives you cancer,

opening the microwave before it's finished beeping gives you cancer,

drinking hard tap water gives you cancer.

Those indestructible plastic wrapping shells for shitty electronics give you cancer.

 

Everything causes cancer in California.

This hysteria over things causing cancer is just completely ridiculous. Cancer's a serious problem, sure, but I'll be damned if breathing ABS is going to stop me from printing my fox loli figurines.
