So, yes, I know that due to layer lines etc, FDM (PLA) printing isn't safe for food, however is there a way of making it safe? Essentially I want to create a draw insert for cutlery, so can I print it, the coat it in something to make it food safe?

    Brass nozzles also have trace amounts of lead in them. It’s a miniscule amount but if you’re going for absolute food safety you may consider a steel nozzle.
