Filament TYPE Recommendation?
I wasn't sure whether to post this question here or under How Do I Print This?
I've been asked to (try to) print some replacement gaskets--one for a honey dispenser and another for a food processor. (For now, anyway... I think she's just getting warmed up... 😯 ) I've been researching some of the different flexibles, but am now more confused than when I started... TPE, TPU, PP... There seem to be multiple formulations for each type.
Any recommendations for this application?

Not to be "that guy", but FDM prints may not be ideal for food contact. In addition to concerns about the material itself, FDM leaves gaps and holes that bacteria can proliferate in.

Points taken. Should have dug deeper into that aspect--my bad. 😳
