Description
So what do you get when you combined a Spoon, a Fork and a Knife? You get a Sporknife! This is your one stop utensil for taking down anything the fridge can throw at you...
I modeled this off of a cheap sporknife thing I found at a dollar store.. The model itself is pretty complex, I would say... Multiple planes with bends in one plane, two different ways, etc..
It was fun to recreate though! :D
There are two STLs for printing: High Res and Low Res. Pretty self explanatory. Once again, the Inventor file is kind of messy.. I really need to start cleaning those up after I'm done..

Instructions
1. Print
2. Pick up Sporknife

You will need to re-orientate or turn on supports to print this on a MakerBot or the like.

Have you tried printing out one of these with your own machine using ABS? I'm wondering how sturdy it would turn out to be.

I haven't tried printing one on my machine, but I would imagine that it would be pretty sturdy printed in the orientation it is now. You might want to align the fork prongs to be straighter so they don't delaminate when sticking them into something. Support material would be needed of course. :)

and if you print it flat ? (to avoid support)
and then bend it while it's still hot (but not too hot) :)

Do not mess with the spoons! There are forces there that we do not understand: http://xkcd.com/419/

My son has been using the one I printed him for about 4 months now and loves it...he asked me today to make him another, so he always has a clean one to use...thanks for uploading this!
That's great! Glad I could help out.
