In this era of\u00a0trading\u00a0hamburgers for\u00a0*ramen* burgers\u00a0and\u00a0breakfast sandwiches for\u00a0*donut* sandwiches, it’s time to make\u00a0our food accessories just as trendy and futuristic as our\u00a0hybrid foods. Introducing… 3D printed food gadgets.<\/p>\n

You can even take some inspiration from these 3D printed\u00a0objects\u00a0from\u00a0Shapeways\u00a0and design your own essential foodie items\u00a0(or be lazy and buy\u00a0the ones we’ve picked out for you).<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Chopstick\u00a0Holder<\/a><\/h3>\n

Do you love sushi but are incapable of using chopsticks,\u00a0but also don’t want to be culturally dense\u00a0and use a fork?\u00a0Say hello to\u00a03D printed chopstick holders.<\/p>\n

This ingenious invention will turn the most infuriated sushi lover into an expert chopstick artist\u00a0instantly.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Finger Saver<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\"Photo<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

There’s nothing more terrifying\u00a0than almost chopping off a finger while cutting kale for the\u00a0salad\u00a0you’ve convinced yourself you like. Avoid all of that vegetable tension with a 3D printed finger protector.<\/p>\n

Now you don’t have to worry about\u00a0cutting your finger while you distractedly chop kale as you think\u00a0about nachos again!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Egg Holder<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\"Photo<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Have you ever made yourself a trendy\u00a0brunch, complete with\u00a0soft-boiled eggs, only to realize you don’t have a trendy\u00a0egg holder to keep your egg at optimal elevation? Never\u00a0eat a tilted soft-boiled egg again with this\u00a03D printed octopus\u00a0egg holder.<\/p>\n

Bonus:\u00a0If you’re on a diet, check out this\u00a0nest egg holder. You’ll lose your appetite thinking about how your breakfast was once a baby chicken instantly. Calories saved!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0“Little Dipper” Cookie Dunking Bowl<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\"Photo<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

True loss is dropping the warm chocolate chip cookie you just slaved over into the\u00a0abyss of a full glass of milk. You know you will never see that cookie again. You know if you do, it’s going to be a disgusting, milk-saturated mess.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Pizza Chair<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\"Photo<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

The tables that come on delivery pizzas serve no point– that is, until you add this 3D printed pizza chair obviously. This dining set is perfect for your tiny imaginary friend to recline\u00a0in while you eat your pizza.<\/p>\n

Bonus: Check out this miniature\u00a03D printed stool<\/a>\u00a0that can be easily adapted for pizza seating as well, unless your\u00a0tiny imaginary friend has back issues. That would be insensitive of you to not provide\u00a0him with back support then.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Toast Retriever<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\"Photo<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Standing toasters were not designed for people with fingers. Unfortunately, most people have fingers. With these 3D printed toast retrievers, you can now grab your toast out of the thinnest of toast slots without fearing for the life of your fingers.<\/p>\n

These toast retrievers can also pick up the little burnt pieces that inevitably fall off your toast in the retrieval process. In fact, they can even grab\u00a0pop-tarts\u00a0and\u00a0other objects that are not toast itself, but are frequently enjoyed toasted. So much functionality!<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Statue of Liberty Ice Cream Cone<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\"Photo<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Enjoy a patriotic cone of your favorite flavor as\u00a0you cheer on America with this 3D printed Statue of Liberty ice cream cone (child not included).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
