Kitchen Utensil and Napkin Holder

thingiverse

This Carousel Utensil Holder offers a sleek and convenient solution for storing plastic or silver knives, forks, spoons, and napkins on the go. Each utensil type has its own separate compartment, ensuring organization and easy access. The metal rods within each compartment are wrapped in a sturdy foam material that not only secures the utensils in place but also serves as a drying rack. To retrieve an item simply grasp the top handle and spin the carousel to position it over your desired utensil. Next, engage the gear mechanism to raise the utensils into view and within easy reach. **Creation Details** This design was conceived using Tinkercad's robust CAD software. The entire assembly consists of one main cylinder, augmented by four smaller octagonal cylinders that create the compartment holes for utensils, as well as a square box that serves as the napkin compartment. Gears were incorporated from the Tinkercad community's readily available resources and mounted on top. Beneath the main cylinder, a ring was added to represent the carousel base and resized to perfectly fit its position around the bottom of the assembly.
