New Cutlery Holder S

A tool that makes spoons, forks, and similar utensils easier to use for people with weak grip strength or difficulty with fine finger control. It can be used with the forearm in a neutral position (as if holding a pistol).

How

This is a one-of-a-kind self-help device that fixes onto cutlery of various thicknesses and widths you already own by clamping it with a "snap." Taking advantage of the properties of TPU, it can be printed as a single piece. Attaching it to and removing it from cutlery takes only light force. It comes in two sizes; this model is size S. Sizes S and M are available.

Outcome

TPU (64D: somewhat firm)

▪️Notes Each part is tuned for Kexeleed TPU 64D. It can also be made with other TPUs, but with some TPUs problems such as a fragile hinge may occur. Printing with each printer's default TPU settings should be fine. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0CNWZ249V?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
