Chopstick Assistant

My family and I live in eastern Asia now and chopsticks are everywhere. My daughters hands however are small so I made a little helper for them. I saw a bunch of different versions of this but I don't like 99% of them. They're way too flimsy and allows the chopsticks to go sideways, poor pressure control and made of rigid materials making it hard for my girls to grab things. After 5 different designs, I've learned that density is the key to a good chopstick helper. This model has a dense TPU body with ports going into the core allowing the chopsticks to move but also keeping them aligned (the sticks can still go sideways but with much more control over them) and putting enough pressure on their little hands so it stays in their hands. Since were in Asia, we walk everywhere so these are small enough to fit in your bag but big enough not to lose in said bag. Feel free to change the infill percentage, the trick to these is density. While 30% works great for my kids it might be too stiff or not stiff enough for you. Approximately 7 grams and takes about an hour depending on printer. I have not tried to rescale the model in the slicer but if needed I don't see why a rescale would hurt. Fits generic reusable chopsticks (for the most part they're all different) We rarely use the disposable chopsticks and I know a lot of them are rather smaller than the reusable so they will most likely not fit. - Material: TPU 95A

- Infill: 30% (changing infill changes the desired pressure in your hands)

- Walls: 3 to 4

- Print Orientation: Vertical (chopstick ports facing up for a support free print like in photo above)
