Several months ago I printed the SteinWipe mount for a very good patron during a live stream (video linked above ) - I used bambu lab PETG carbon fibre and even though I was actually very careful in handling this material by wearing gloves, I still somehow contracted little carbon fibres of under my skin. These feel very itchy and even when putting the irritation sites under a microscope, many of the fibres cannot even be seen. It's hard to say exactly how they got there when wearing gloves but the fact remains that they have been driving me crazy since February and it is now September. Finally, my body only now has pushed out one of these fibres from beneath my skin. This video is a PSA for anybody using this filament to take the appropriate precautions!
