So here are our four favorite 3D-printed kitchen gadgets from Shapeways. These are so cool they've inspired us to design a few of our own!

1. Chopstick Holder
Do you love sushi but are incapable of using chopsticks, but also don’t want to be culturally dense and use a fork? Say hello to 3D-printed chopstick holders.
This ingenious invention will turn the most infuriated sushi lover into an expert chopstick artist instantly.

2. Finger Saver
There’s nothing more terrifying than almost chopping off a finger while cutting kale for the salad you’ve convinced yourself you like. Avoid all of that vegetable tension with a 3D-printed finger protector.
Now you don’t have to worry about cutting your finger while you distractedly chop kale as you think about nachos again.

3. Egg Holder
Have you ever made yourself a trendy brunch, complete with soft-boiled eggs, only to realize you don’t have a trendy egg holder to keep your egg at optimal elevation? Never eat a tilted soft-boiled egg again with this 3D-printed octopus egg holder.

4. “Little Dipper” Cookie Dunking Bowl
True loss is dropping the warm chocolate chip cookie you just slaved over into the abyss of a full glass of milk.
Luckily, a Shapeways community designed a brilliant solution for the world’s greatest problem: the “Little Dipper,” a 3D-printed cookie dunking mug. The best part is you can still drink the milk after.

We Need These!

We like these tools because they address everything from basic, everyday cooking needs to things that are a little more, well… whimsical.

Plus, we're inspired by how easy it is to create and customize pretty much anything a cook could need. Dare we say 3D printing is the future of food preparation?
