You know how it goes: you grab a quick deli dinner or pull out your picnic lunch and release you don't have a fork. Then the rummaging begins—in the center console, in the cooler, between the seats—to find a stray plastic utensil. If only you knew where one was.

Well, you're in luck, because now there's one on your keychain.

This is a simple, foldable fork that fits on a keyring, carabiner, or in a pocket. It prints in place and locks in both the open and closed positions.

The fork may still need some small edits. Feel free to tweak the .step file and upload a remix!

PRINT SETTINGS:

  • 0.2mm layer height
  • Supports on build plate
  • Variable layer height on the locking holes

The color change is optional.

IMPORTANT:

  • Run a piece of sandpaper over the locking nub on the handle a couple of times to get it to the correct shape
  • Use a small flat-head screwdriver to gently pop the top and bottom sections apart.
