Best 3D printing material for child-safe educational toy prototype
Hello! I need advice on a small prototype for an educational toy aimed at children aged 3–6. It consists of interlocking geometric shapes (around 8–10 parts per set), with no mechanical function. I’m planning to 3D print a short run (1–5 sets) and need advice on the most suitable material. Parts need to be safe for handling by children, reasonably durable, and dimensionally stable enough for the shapes to fit together without tight tolerances. Between PLA, ABS, and Nylon, which would be the most appropriate option in terms of safety, tactile feel, and printability?
