The Fry Fork

pinshape

This is all in good fun, thought it would be hilarious to model the Fry fork from McDonald's recent ad campaign and make a joke out of the whole thing. To use this stick, insert three fries into the top container area and dip them into your sauce. This is a simplistic model and doesn't take long to print. If you do choose to print this, I recommend using supports on the inner fry containment area. Please use food-safe plastics and don't even think about using ABS since it's petrol-based. Hope you find this funny like I did. Maybe my jokes are just silly and cheesy. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: Any resolution can work, but I used 0.17mm. Infill: 15% - 25%. You can print higher if you want it to feel sturdier, but with my experience, it doesn't make that much of a difference. Notes: Don't use any dangerous plastics like ABS, and be careful if you choose to print this since this is meant to be used with a food product. How I Designed This Step 1: Become notably bored. To begin this wondrous project, I was browsing YouTube and came across the Frork video from McDonald's. That gave me an idea, and I just couldn't turn on the idea of creating something just for a joke! I was thinking about the design and realized the first step would be to get the length and width of a French fry from McDonald's. So instead of going out at first, I used the trusty Google. I stumbled upon this MIT paper about the average length of a French fry, but yet, no width. I had to go to McDonald's and purchase a small fry for myself to measure. Turns out the average length of a McDonald's French fry is 6.86mm. Step 2: ??? Went to modeling this on Fusion 360. Once I came up with the base design, I printed three versions with minor changes here and there, and did the extensive testing of dipping it in sauce to see if it can hold it in the chamber well. Step 3: Design and Publish Once I got everything done with the model, I went to design the silly graphics. This is all out of parody and as a funny joke, the designs are supposed to look like this is a revolutionary technology to brave the world but obviously, it's just a fork to hold fries for dipping in sauce. The font I'm using is Proxima Nova. Well, I hope you find this slightly funny or get a slight smirk at least. Thanks for reading!
