New Cutlery Holder M

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

How

A one-of-a-kind self-help device that fixes onto cutlery of various thicknesses and widths you already own simply by snapping it on with a "click." Taking advantage of the properties of TPU, it can be printed as a single piece. Attaching and detaching it from the cutlery takes only light force. There are two sizes, and this model is the M size. S and M sizes are available.

Outcome

Materials Used

TPU (64D: fairly firm)

Print Settings Overview

Body: Nozzle diameter = 0.4mm, Layer height = 0.2mm, Infill = 15%, Supports = none

▪️Notes Each part was tuned using Kecxelled TPU 64D. Other TPUs can also be used, but depending on the TPU, 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
