Small Spoon Holder for Teaspoons and Tablespoons

Small Spoon Holder for Teaspoons and Tablespoons

A spoon holder sized for standard sized teaspoons and tablespoons. The handle of the spoon is suspended off the surface for easy access and a deep pocket keeps any drips inside the spoon holder.

Created because I am a tea person and I wanted something different. I have developed a habit over the years of holding onto the teaspoon I use with my first cup of tea of the morning. I have gone from resting it on a paper towel to trying a few different spoon rests but I am always left wanting something better. The paper towel gets dirty fast and leaves a mess. Existing spoon holder designs were generally sized to accommodate serving utensils, looking odd with just a teaspoon and taking up way too much space. It took a while but I am finally decent enough with Fusion to do something about.

So, here is a simple spoon holder sized specifically for teaspoons and tablespoons while looking good on your countertop - or your desk like me. Pick your favorite filament and match your decor.

Model Specific Notes

• Hand Wash Only - Unless you know what you are doing I don't recommend putting printed parts in a dishwasher. Every roll of filament is different and you are better safe than sorry.
• I print mine using a .4mm nozzle, 10% infill, gyroid, 3 perimeters, 5 top, 4 bottoms. They print in about 40 minutes on my Voron 2.4r2 with default speeds.
• A standard tablespoon was used in the photos.

My Design Philosophy

• No overhangs = no support needed
• No fillets along the bottom edge and rounded outside corners = no brim needed
• Flat surfaces and smooth curves = fast prints
• Perfect dimensions and symmetry = happy brain
• Design that doesn't scream “3d printing is my hobby”
• Every line, curve, and fillet is thought out, tested, and the result examined. If it's not right, do it again.

The end result is a model that will print quickly and easily on most printers.

Enjoy!
