Printable Double-Sided Utensil Case 3D Print STL

If you're looking for a printable utensil case, this double-sided design is a practical and compact solution for organizing child-sized utensils and scissors. The case features a smooth, rounded-rectangle form and is optimized for easy 3D printing. With separate cavities for a set of child utensils and safety scissors, this print-ready STL is perfect for parents, teachers, or anyone who needs a tidy, portable way to keep small tools organized and protected.

What Makes This Model Stand Out

This printable utensil case is thoughtfully designed with a central double-sided body and two removable magnetic lids. One side securely holds child safety scissors in a contoured recess, while the other side cradles a nested bundle of a spoon, fork, and knife. The shared internal wall keeps both compartments separate and compact. Each lid features a shallow locating lip and a recessed thumb scallop for easy removal, with smooth exterior surfaces for a polished, minimalist look. Magnet pockets are integrated for flush-fitting neodymium magnets, ensuring the lids stay securely in place without bulky latches or hinges. The entire case is designed for FDM printing with no supports required, making it both functional and easy to produce.

Recommended Print Settings

This utensil case is optimized for FDM 3D printing. No supports are needed for any of the parts, thanks to careful design of overhangs and flat surfaces. Use a standard layer height for a balance of strength and surface finish. The minimum wall thickness is approximately 1.6–2 mm, so standard infill settings will provide sufficient durability. Print the lids and central body separately, flat on the build plate, for best results. Choose a material that offers good strength and a smooth finish, such as PLA or PETG.

Use Cases

• Organizing and transporting child utensils and safety scissors for school or travel
• Keeping small tools or art supplies neatly separated in a backpack or lunchbox
