As one of my first ever self designed Prints and 3D Models, I wanna do a big organiser for my Kitchen! This is my current progress on that:

One of my friends gave me a word of caution to use the right filament when it comes to storing things like Sugar, Pepper, Salts and Tea Bags with Printed Plastics. So I wanted to ask if any of you have Good Safe Filament Recommendation for this type of thing? I heard PETG is supposedly safe, is that true? Thanks!

I've seen people suggesting coating the inside of the print in some sort of coating to make it theoretically food safe.

That said I wouldn't trust it. We already have enough microplastics in our bodies. I don't want the microplastic farm anywhere near my food.
