MakerBot Industries

Thingiverse user Seanz0rz has done it!  Fully-printable PLA utensils!  Ok, our PLA supply is not food-grade, so I don’t receommend actually eating with these, nor is it the first viable spoon or fork (or spork, for that matter) but nevertheless it’s something of an achievement.  Totally normal-looking utensils! Printable on a MakerBot!

If there were some sort of global utensil apocalypse, wherein stainless-steel implements suddenly vanished from drawers everywhere, those with 3d printers could lead the way toward re-building our utensil culture.  Or something like that.

Even better, it’s a great example of what Thingiverse users can do when they set their minds to solving household problems.  While safety concerns may hold us back from recommending full-scale adoption here, we are clearly not far from a vast selection of print-on-demand household items.  Well done!

Knife, Spoon, & Fork by Seanz0rz

Here are some models of a knife, spoon, and fork. with the exception of the knife, these will need support material. Solidworks files included so you can make changes. i believe these are the first of their kind at least on Thingiverse. hopefully these will inspire others to create different models as well! They turn out to be fragile when printed. I will eventually update the stl's to create more robust utensils. the knife is almost at that point.
