    Again. All easy stuff. It is doable. Its not that hard. And it can be done for a reasonable cost.

    Home Depot sells water tubing that is food safe, obviously since its for ice makers and other potable water sources.

    For the build plate, experimentation would be involved but I bet you could attach a kitchen cutting board/sheet to the platform and extrude onto it thus isolating the build plate (non-food safe) from the extruded food safe filament.

    As for transporting it.. go to a restaurant supply or even GFS/Sam's, they sell plenty of food safe containers to store and transport things in as well as storing the filament in a food safe container.

    .......
    You do realize that companies are working on this? Using 3d printing to make stuff for the public?
    Your solution is an homemade solution - which is not going to work via any law - correct procedure etc.
    You really want your kid to drink from such a 3printed cup..... cleaned in a dish washer and drink out of it again?

    3d printing is more than an hobby.

    I am asking/commenting this - because companies are approaching my company for solutions.
    And then they refer to such a claim of 'food grade filament'.
