That makes me cringe, thinking about the fish who have plastic lining their stomachs. Yuck. It´s horrible.
These 3D printers are good for 2 things imo:
1. The ISS can make some parts they need, and they´re working on being able to recycle the plastic from parts they no longer use.
2. Making prosthetics in poor countries.
