The difference between consumer-class and enterprise-class 3D printers are minor. Controlled temperature environment is one of them.

As soon as one of the small fish is advertising features of the so called enterprise-class 3D printers, they are sued into oblivion by Stratasys and others using their patents.

The problem is not even the parents.
The problem is affixing the magnet in a piece that can break or be sucked by the toddler.
Just like there are regulations about using lead paint on glasswares and plates, there should have been rules about using strong earth magnets ON toys.
Banning the sale of magnets AS toys is stupid.

One of the first financial press conferences before (after?) the google IPO was by their CFO.. Chielf Food Officer, back in February 2005.
Google was proud of announcing the number of eggs they were cooking each day for their employees. Wall Street was pissed by their lack of respect.

They had a formal presentation by their chef but not their chief financial officer,” said Mark S. Mahaney, an analyst with American Technology Research. “I have never been to an investor day where the C.F.O. didn’t speak.”
Indeed, Google’s top chef, Charlie Ayers, spoke to the assembled analysts and investors about the lunch he had prepared, featuring entrees like grilled pork tenderloin. The chief financial officer, George Reyes, moderated the presentation and answered a few questions, but did not give a formal talk.
