I would be concerned about the lead in 3d prints. They are not food safe.

Lead isn't the reason they're generally not food safe, it's the additives they use to make the plastics more printable.

Why are you concerned about the food safety of this though?

I've heard of 3D prints being not-food-safe for a host of reasons, but lead is a new one. How does lead get into the filament? Care to share an article?
