Do the prints slowly release microplastics into the water that kill the urchins?
-
If they used PLA(made of cornstarch) which is common for fdm 3d printing then theres no threat of microplastics from what ive read. it is biodegradable, but very slowly.
-
Makes sense. People that are serious about fish tanks don't mess around
-
I doubt it's 100% cornsarch. I work in the plastics industry and there's all sorts of travesties going on. We also have a line of cornstarch-made products, but they're all scams when it comes to "recycling" and "being biodegradable".
There's definitely plastic in it.
-
From what I've read PLA is only biodegradable under very specific conditions. I looked into it and you have to send it to a recycling center designed for PLA and its expensive to do so. I would assume microplastics would still be present too. Even though it can be sourced from plant matter its still plastic.

Of course, for that is the way of things

Probably a lot less than what's in the ocean!

There's something terrifying about a sea urchin wearing a hat slowly approaching you.
-
At any point in time there is an urchin getting closer to you
-
But it's distance to you is not monotonic so it's alllll goooood.

Scale it up and it's a Dark Souls boss

In Stardew Valley, you can put hats on sea urchins if you put them in an aquarium.
