Chopstick Holders (Finished)

Since the beginning of the desktop 3D printing revolution, there has been an ongoing debate about if 3D-printed objects are safe for food contact. While we like to play it safe by limiting food contact around here, that doesn’t mean that 3D-printed objects can’t be used in other ways around our kitchens and dining tables. We think that chopstick stands are a great example of a safe application, they are also something that you can have a lot of fun with when it comes to style. So this week, let’s see what you can do designing chopstick stands. Valid entries should be specifically designed for lifting the ends of chopsticks from a table when they are set down during a meal. Random objects that could hold up chopsticks but are not purpose-made for this are not valid entries. Finally, we know a couple of you have found it funny adding some NSFW models to the competitions that really don’t fit the brief well. From now on, let’s try to keep things PG to help keep things more inclusive for the community. There are teachers who use the platform, they shouldn’t have to worry about their students running into content that would get them in trouble if they browse the contest entries.
