    Yes, I just completed reading that whole epic! I also read the links relating to the sensor specifics. I couldn’t find exact materials listed. More descriptive terms than ingredients as it were. Surely if I were to directly ask the company “does the filament contain Teflon’? Wouldn’t they be...
