Topic: Printing a cub/mug

Just ordered me a Press, and it's my first entry into the world of 3d printers. I can't wait for it to arrive hehe. Enough about that.

What I'm asking is, are there any hazardous concerns about using ABS plastic as a coffee mug?

Or would I be better off using PLA?

Solidoodle Press (waiting for it)

T-Glase (PET) is A food safe plastic   
and gives more of a water tight bond.
