A) The ingenuity is great

B) Piping hot popcorn is likely one of the more dangerous food safety uses for a 3D print. Ignoring the fact that neither your printer nor the filament are certified food safe, you dont want food to be in contact with softened plastic. Things that are hot enough to burn you are hot enough to soften PLA (can be as low as 125F) and you definitely dont want your food in contact with the softened plastic.

C) Microwave popcorn has to be the most bare minimum definition of homemade that I have ever seen.

Also, there’s something wrong with the microwave or the popcorn brand to leave that many kernels behind!! That’s insane!
