Ok, so if we could work out what material is used in those cups (im referring to the slightly flexible ones, not disposable), and made a reprap that only printed that material, they should be non-toxic and dishwasher safe.

Not sure if this is the correct place, but I was looking at getting a reprap happening at some stage, and was thinking of making some cups. I presume that once set, the PLA and ABS would not be toxic? Are either/both dishwasher safe? Or would the dishwasher heat them up enough to warp them?

Hey, been a while since you posted, hows the printing going? I'm in Lismore and really want to get into some 3d printing. Any chance I can check out your printer and have a chat at some stage?
