I have been looking at least prototyping in TPU 3D printed dog toys.

@Rutty For something that will be chewed, I wouldn’t use TPU (or other filament) since it is very hard or next to impossible to get information about 100% of the ingredients of a filament and confirm that they are safe for consumption.

For the same reason, I use 3D printed items only with room temperature food, e.g. a coffee bag clip with spout.
