If they used PLA(made of cornstarch) which is common for fdm 3d printing then theres no threat of microplastics from what ive read. it is biodegradable, but very slowly.

sorry dude thats not right. first off houses recieve AC power which cycles between positive and negative at 60hz ~120v rms in north america. they achieve a potential difference in voltage by basically taking a phase of power, splitting it into two lines and then lagging one line by 90° usually with the use of capacitance from what i was taught back in the day(Good ol ELI the ICEman). this phase shift now gives you a potential difference between those two lines of 240v and 120v between phase and ground. need to use phasor algebra with AC power. when dealing with 3 phase power you still wouldnt just add 120v plus 120v when going phase to phase, you would multiply 120v by the square root of 3 which gives you 208v.
