I know nothing about reefing but have a mate going bigger with his setup and is looking at 3d printing some parts, wich is where I come in.
I have a basic printer flashforge finder 2 really only meant for pla but reading of people having success with petg printing on it as well.
Im located in Qld Australia.

My first question is about 3d printing.

I am up to speed on food safe/grade fillament, but what about the machine does everything the fillament touch need to be food grade? Tube between spool and print head as an example? Already have stainless nozzles. Is the small ptfe tube food safe? Just how picky do I need to be to be safe? He is building a large tank I would hate to wreck it.
Will be binging all the info on here for next few days. Cheers.
