3D Printed - Modular - Kitchen Utensils - System.

I got a little tired of the mess in one of my kitchen drawers, so I started 3D printing a modular "tool holder".

The tools are all designed in Open SCAD, so basically consists of cylinders, and cubes.

  
I started with the holder for my mixer tools, as they always got tangled up. As that turned out to be a success, I continued with the rest of the kitchen tools I use most. Notice the prominent spot for cork-screw.

On the latter photo you can see the dove-tail connection between each module. The spool holder includes a little knife to cut the thread. Costs for the hole system - less than 1 euro in materials and hours and hours of fun designing each module.

Maybe the most used tool was a little tricky because of the curves.

This is where it started. The most useful of them all

And the companion tool. A foil cutter and rubber cork.
I got the set as a goodbye present from the last company I worked for in Denmark all the way back in 1998. It's of course Danish Design.

    Most of the tool holders has been created from simple shapes as cylinders and cubes.

For the Garlic press I used an other method. I took a photo of the presser and imported it into Open-SCAD. Saved a lot of time to do it this way because of the odd shape.

    The spool holder was probably the most fun to make.

This mainly because I wanted to include a knife to cut the thread.

The knife is just a piece of steel from a can of some sort. Probably canned tomatoes.

To create the knife blade I just made a small cut with my wire cutters and bend it a little to allow the threat to enter between the two sharp edged.

This holder is currently a bit of a failure. The fit is bad and the whiskers won't stay put. Luckily it's just one module - I can replace it with a new better version, or maybe for an other tool.

These two holders I just made because I felt I wanted to. The both turned out much better than expected.
