I've gotta find someone with a 3D printer locally who can make me those fingy chopsticks for cheetos. I'm tired of cleaning my keyboard everytime I wanna snacc.

Please do not eat food served via a 3d printed tool/plate/bowl/cup. A number of the materials that are used for 3d printing are toxic (cross contamination is likely even if the material has been changed), and the plastic can contain small abrasion which are impossible to sanitize.

That's putting it mildly - every 3D print has tons of small crevices and imperfections even just from the layer lines alone, it's just completely impossible to keep a 3D print clean between repeated food contact. Unless it's sealed with resin or similar, but that's also not easy to get right.

Check your public library, nowadays many often have a couple for the public to use

When I was in Toronto, yeppers. Alas I'm on an island out in the middle of nowhere. I'm gonna have to find a 3D print shop or make a friend lol

It's nice to hear from you again, and to be reminded of your living situation somewhere near Trailer Park Boys and Man in a Motel
