I made this about a year ago and it’s one of my favorite creations. Even though I made a mistake in measuring the bottom and had to cut out some slots. One day I’ll print it again, but it used a ton of filament and took forever last time.
Countdown until someone posts that you are already dead from bacteria in the layer lines.
I so need to do this for my toolboxes. I know it would take a long time, but it would end up saving me so much more time.
Yup, didn’t take long. I still need to get a nice toolbox, but when I do, I’ll definitely be doing something similar.
Each thing looks like it will only fit in the space for so naturally my kids will just toss the silverware in the drawer off to the side. There is no way in hell they are going to keep it organized.
That top left section already has “screw it, the rest goes here” energy
Definitely, always need a catch all spot
Haha, luckily I live alone and can keep it tidy.
Everything fits in the knife and chopstick sections, or the accessory section.
Is there more/less a risk of using micro plastics with food stuff than traditional plastic?
I would really love to use a 3D printer for all of these home organization tasks but am worried of increasing consumption of micro plastics.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polylactic_acid Is the most conmanly used printing material. I would rather eat that than just about any other “food safe” traditional plastic in my kitchen.
There are other concerns about the actual food safeness of printed objects because of their physical structure being a harbor for bacteria and such, but ingestion isn’t one of them.
Finally someone not screaming “micro plastics! Bacteria!”. Yes it’s an issue for some things. Like I wouldn’t be eating with 3d printed utensils or storing food in 3d printed containers, but I just can’t imagine my silverware is collecting enough microplastics from sitting there that will do more damage than all the other microplastics already in me from everything else.
“PLA Filament” isn’t pure PLA, it can contain lots of additives that aren’t food safe.
I was going to suggest posting this to the homeorganisation community, then I realised you’re the guy who made that community as well; you’re really prolific at these custom organisation prints, I’m impressed!
I have to ask are you a 3D designer by profession or is this just a hobby?
Haha that’s great. Thank you. No it’s just a hobby. I do have a background in graphic design and a huge interest in technology and computers and I guess I’ve just married the two into a hobby.
I had no desire for a 3D printer until this post.
This is one of my favorite things to hear. I love sharing not only what 3D printing is capable of, but just in general things that I feel like improve life even in some small way. Reach out of you want to take that desire further and have any questions on how to get started or anything.
Now I want to 3d print, just to make one for my house!
If you are interested at all, the hobby has never been cheaper to get into. <$200 gets you a printer and several spools of filament to learn with.
Now I just want to 3d print, just to make my house!
Do it! My favorite hobby by far. Highly recommend Prusa but they are pricey for a beginner and definitely take some tinkering sometimes, but that’s a plus for me. If you want to get in cheap, you can though, like the other commenter said. If you live near a Microcenter, they often have one of the Creality printers on sale for $100 or so.
3D printed stuff is not geat for hygienic reasons because the little groves accumulate dirt over time and is hard to clean. Did you coat the print somehow?
Oh man, how nice is it to hip-slam the hell outta that drawer, knowing your forks and spoons will be lovingly cradled
I’ve seen these extra long chopsticks in stores before. What are they used for, other than utensils for giants?
Cooking, usually in a wok. My mom got them for me a couple years ago. I’ve yet to use them even though I do cook with chopsticks often. They’re just too big.
They might be used for cooking, like the chopsticks equivalent of a giant spatula or something like that
The sort of prints that become part of your life are my favorite.
My god how did I never think of this. I need to do this yesterday.
After getting into 3d printing…I would never put anything printed next to anything edible. That seems like a quick way to get cancer or worse.
So envious
What? That’s not even real silver! And it’s out really aware of itself?? Nah, seriously, I’ll steal this idea instantly.

How much fucking rice do you make

Lol, I’m Korean so…a lot
kenoh@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m convinced this was all so they could flex about having 3 rice makers.

lmao, only one now, but ive been through a bunch and saved the scoops. The one I have now though is super nice and cost enough to buy a dozen cheaper ones though, lol
