Is chewing on injection molded toys safe?

ABS and PLA are already heavily used in making toys, so they'd be no more dangerous than any other toy on the market.

#6Not sure if kids will have the patience to wait 8 hours for a print out compared to a few minutes with the original version.

#7The most interesting thing about this in my opinion is that their software is only for iOS and Android, at least for now. No Windows/desktop option. Makes total sense IMHO.

#9A 3D printer at $299 is pretty amazing. If love to see examples of the quality of the items it produces.

#10Tengential but: sometimes I wonder how websites like these survive or even exist.
Reading an article on Fortune is hellish: ads trying to load, flash trying to activate, huge black banner with outsize logo (80% empty space), another banner linking to other sites of the network, big link banner to the left, ad underneath, and finally you get a tiny, cramped square on the screen to read your article.
Who reads this?
(In any case, a 3D printer at that price is pretty damn cool. Kids will grow up in a totally different world when they can 3D print toys at home, on demand.)
