You go to the shop and ask so you get the right product because silicones that are safe for this are rare and rarely advertised as such.

Because 3D builder is legit better than tinkercad in many ways, but you're free to use tinkercad, it's totally a matter of preference. I actually list it as an option in the article, so not sure what prompted this comment.

Tinkercad won't give you volume info and nor will most organic sculpting software.

Are you talking about "magic numbers" with regard to the layer height? If so, I'm printing on a delta so it basically doesn't matter.

Yes, because it removes the layer lines, which is the main health risk in printed toys (and without smoothing those layer lines just get transferred to the toy, silicone picks up microscopic details)
