this shit can't be healthy there is a reason why sextoys that are sold are using medical grade materials
With regard to my article, I specifically talk about using the right silicones in it. There's no need for this level of snark.

Thank you for replying in such useful detail! I've been orbiting this array of technologies lately - 3d printing + silicone, and also epoxy resin - so this is all really useful info for me. Your comment about having to figure out working processes by trial and error rings true. I'll be sure to bear beeswax in mind - maybe it'll work some magic on epoxy as well. In the spirit of reciprocal knowledge sharing, I've been…
Which comment about trial and error sorry? I honestly rarely do the same thing twice... ADHD and all. lol Yes, filler primer is great and I recommend it often. I think I actually mention it in the article? It's just a LOT more work than pouring some wax in and out of a mould.
Ah, it seems I projected the "trial and error" part. I certainly don't often get it right first try! I would never have guessed about dish soap preventing curing, for instance. So easy for a project to end prematurely in a sticky mess...
I bought a 3D printer for under $200 a year ago, and it has been the absolute best investment I have made in years, and doubly so. It would have been worth it as an educational tool alone, I have learned so much (and so quickly) about CAD and mechanical engineering in general. It inspired me to buy books and hardware and poke at things.
On top of that, it is also practical. I have printed parts for things for less money and in less time than it would take to go get from the hardware or auto parts store. Car wouldn't pass inspection without seatbelt cover thing? 3D printed. (Don't worry, it's a decorative plastic part, not a safety-critical part...) That alone paid for the cost of the printer.
I'm making electromechanical devices and the corresponding software now, for no dollars, at home, with no help and very few tools. It's amazing, the possibilities!
$2 Arduino + plastic + software + minor components = ???
What a time to be alive.

Why does it have to be novel? Maybe it’s just well presented instructions that work?
I hadn't seen the beeswax smoothing done anywhere else, so I felt I had to share, hence the article. But yea, I dunno why it should have to be novel.. But hey, haters will attempt to find literally anything they can to try and cut you down. I've unfortunately learned this well in my time producing content.
So thanks for a well put together article. Please do a more SFW version. How am I even going to explain where I learned this? Hahaha.

Actually most sex toys are sold as novelty use items specifically to get around medical device laws. It's a whole terrible issue. With regard to my article, I specifically talk about using the right silicones in it. There's no need for this level of snark.
