Does copper or prazi have any interaction with 3d printed pteg?

All plastics that I'm familiar with that are food safe are also safe to use in aquariums when treated with amine-chelated copper or praziquantel. I can't speak to ionic copper though.......

Praziquantil will likely bind to any plastic from seawater since it is quite hydrophobic. That doesn’t necessarily mean it is any problem since the surface area of plastics is generally not high and a monolayer bound is a small amount.
