Has anyone ever used a 3d printer to make sex toys with. We are getting one fairly soon and naturally this was the first thing to pop into our heads

I have two 3D printers.

You just have to consider which way you print your 'items'.

I’m not sure I understand the need to have a 3d printer at home

My hobby means I can print things that are difficult to make or expensive to buy.

The plastics they use are not suitable for sextoys.

"The plastics they use are not suitable for sextoys."

Depends on the printer.

One of mine even prints rubber.

Its not a good idea to give people unsafe advice, microscopic gaps in printing material store bacteria that can lead to health problems.

You definitely can, however the surfaces need to be smooth so they’re easy to clean and bacteria doesn’t get trapped.

Make sure the part is strong enough by using the right material and by printing in the best orientation; if that thing snaps inside someone it’s a trip to A&E or you’re persistent with the salad tongs

That's where the finishing operations make the print usable.

Many people think you can just take the print off the printer and away you go. That's not the case.

Well... You can print a gun, so I guess anything is possible...

A plastic one yes, but it won't fire. Unless you buy a professional one at about £200k.

Not strictly true. You have difficulty ensuring the back of the gun does not explode when the bullet comes out the front. You also need to get powder or a real bullet/cartridge to fire.

As for toys the finishing on home style printers such as Makerbots is just too coarse to be safe. Most need coating in a sealer first although I would imagine placing a condom over it would probably be ok.
