Random Question don’t upvote.

So I am a beginner 3d printer who just had his first class at a makers space. I have some 3d modeling experience. My idea was to get an aquarium with my friends, and to practice my 3d printing wed all pick some simple things from our favorite games and print it for the fish tank decor. Simple things that don’t need painting like the n64 logo. When I brought this up the class however, the teacher said that filaments are full of toxins that would kill the fish, and his modded rigidbot does not support a filament that would not have toxins in it.My question to you guys is, is there a way around this? Is it possible to purge the filament of its toxins somehow, or seal it so that toxins do not leak?A quick Google search did confirm the level of toxins, but I didn’t see any work arounds for my project as it is a pretty niche project.Edit:You guys have been super helpful, thanks for the advice. http://ift.tt/2o1vbfg

WARNING! Be sure to deactivate S3D before OS reinstall

I’ve currently been without use of Simplify3D since last Friday and have been going back and forth with S3D’s customer support with not much luck. The issue is that I frequently reinstall my OS due to my job as a Software Engineer. Granted, I forget to deauthorize S3D before wiping the drive.S3D’s website allows deauthorization of used activations, but only in a limited amount: http://ift.tt/2orin4R the software checks activation on startup, I don’t see why S3D limits deauthorizations. Adobe has the same business model and I can easily deauthorize any machine, any time without limits: http://ift.tt/2o0PwBb wish I known this before purchasing Simplify3D as they advertise use for up to two physical machines per license, but such is not the case with their limitations on activation, at least if you frequently reinstall your OS. http://ift.tt/2oZ4MT7
