I’m wanting this for a vertical grow tower The filimate I’m looking at is: Certified Food Grade PETG 3D Printer Filament - Carbon Brand - Lab Tested FDA Compliant Food Safe, 1.75mm, 1kg, Temp: (Nozzle 220°C - 260°C

Printing considerations: • Printing material (e.g., use polylactic acid [PLA] filament rather than acrylonitrile
