Is PLA safe for the aquarium? Most PLA filaments are generally food and aquarium safe, the main issue for food safety is that the tiny ridges are great places for bacteria and can be difficult to clean. I would recommend getting a special food safe filament though if you plan to use it that way.

Is PLA filament toxic to fish? PLA is good because there is nothing deadly from a fish point of view. March 23rd. 2015

Are 3D printed objects waterproof? Although 3D printed parts have many advantages, they are often not watertight. Many people have misconceptions about what "waterproof" means, so let's clear that up right away. There is waterproof, and there is waterproof, and they are very different.May 11, 2021

Which is the strongest ABS or PETG? PETG is more durable than ABS, but ABS is harder and stiffer. PETG has a lower glass transition temperature, at 80C compared to 105C for ABS. ABS is approximately 20% less dense than PETG.6 Jul. 2018

Is PETG safe for plants? Are they food safe chemicals? I doubt. Therefore, PETG wins here because it comes from PET material, a common material for plastic bottles, 100% leak-proof and recyclable. The downside of PETG is that it doesn't like shrinkage which shouldn't be a problem when 3D printing plant pots.Apr 28, 2020


Does PLA seep into water? Neither ABS nor PLA will degrade much in water. PLA is biodegradable, but it's called chemically biodegradable, which means it doesn't biodegrade very quickly. ABS, PLA, and nylon are all hydroscopic, but that doesn't mean they'll absorb a lot of water and then start to degrade.

Is ABS toxic to fish? It's not good for your fish. Your fish won't like it. They don't treat alcohol the way we do. In fact, it can kill your fish, as the alcohol will inhibit their gill function or poison them.

How long will PLA last in water? PLA is a type of bioplastic. It is made from potatoes, corn, rice, and other similar plants and vegetables. Although it is water resistant, it is not like other plastics made from petrochemicals which can last in water for 500 to 1000 years.

Does PETG absorb water? PETG does not absorb too much water; Especially if you keep them in a place with low humidity, there will be no significant changes. As a general rule, if the relative humidity is around 30% or less, there is no need to dry PETG.
