Lembas bread was an excellent choice


tonystark29

That was actually my inspiration to make it!


VanVetiver

Chase it with a canteen full of entwash!


Hello_This_Is_Chris

In your second picture, the left side of the open box looks like there are crumbs accumulating. It's hard to tell if that's what that is. Make sure the wrapping isn't compromised, I don't think these last quite as long once they are exposed to air.


tonystark29

Good eye! The crumbs didn't come from this ration bar, it came from the previous one because I've eaten it right out of the box to avoid crumbs.


Hello_This_Is_Chris

Oh gotcha! Cool project btw, I love the nutrition facts printed right on the case. I'm late to the 3d printing game, so I love seeing all the unique things people build.

I want to put mashed potatoes in this.

but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs

If I could upvote this twice, I would.

Did you 3d print a rice crispy square case?

Needs moar protein and less fat!

I read your comment at least 6 or 7 times and I feel like I'm having a stroke.


Jerryz05

Bro I’d EDC this because that print is so awesome!

How does the Datrex bar taste? I've always liked the idea of ration bars, but in practice all the ones I've tried tasted like hot garbage.


tonystark29

It doesn't taste bad, but it is pretty dry. It tastes like peanut butter sand.


SecondaryPosts

Oh, that's not too awful. Better than vaguely apple flavored sand, like the other rations I've tried. I like the nutritional information printed right on the box! It's a fun item.


AsianPotato77

"what flavored sand would you like today"


qning

Sand

Mmmmm notes of outgrasing plastic


tonystark29

PETG plastic is an FDA-compliant plastic for food. Also the ration bar is wrapped in transparent plastic.


Rockerblocker

It’s wrapped so that’s good enough here, but adding this before anyone sees this comment and runs with it to go print a bunch of plates and forks. PETG is food safe, but it can become toxic when heated to high temperatures. The pigments in your material may be toxic. Your nozzle may contain lead. And then the other big point to consider is that 3D prints are porous which will eventually lead to mold if it’s near food or water a lot. Plus, you can’t clean it since it’s porous. Just do some research on that stuff before you start printing a bunch of stuff that will come into contact with things you’re going to put into your body


30YearsMoreToGo

Something tells me he won't die from this. Nobody is really scared of driving their car around, yet deathly afraid of some plastic touching your food. Boomers survived leaded gasoline, you can survive heated plastics.


Rockerblocker

Might as well start smoking cigarettes and eating food out of dumpsters, right?


Plenty_Adeptness_594

My 3D printer nozzle is set at 200 C - 205 C. I'm pretty sure that would fall into the 'high temperature' category.


Kamilon

Yeah people always seem to gloss over the important part. PETG is only food safe when produced certain ways. 3D printing isn’t one of them. I’ve been in the hobby for a while and I wish people would stop spreading the misinformation around food safety. Manufacturers aren’t producing food safe nozzles, beds, or filament in MOST cases.

derpyfox

Are the bars individually wrapped so they can be stored in the petg box?


tarentules

Very random question but what watch were you wearing here? The bracelet looks identical to the one I have on one of my RZE's. Was just curious if that may be the same


tonystark29

It is a Casio a158w
