These two parts have been designed to be printed as articulate parts. Model T explicitly allows the top stick to move in a combined motion incorporating both rotation and tilting, following exactly the path prescribed by Standard Grip. This allows fingers to twirl the top stick using the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/planetary-gears\/\">planetary gear train principle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, the ball joint is designed to teach and force fingers to follow the Standard Grip grip and motion. The groove carved into the top chopstick is shaped to allow the stick to rotate for 90\u00b0 around the longitudinal axis, and only 90\u00b0. As the top chopstick rotates, the groove forces it to tilt at the same time. The C-hook and the groove thus serve as a teaching guide, coercing the user to learn the right twirling finger motions.

When printed with Nylon PA12 40% Glass-filled, the result is simply perfect. At 17.8g, a pair of sticks weight slightly heavier than our PLA prints. Printed training marcosticks feel solid in the hand, with an almost smooth surface. The coupling joint was smooth, and required no lubrication, unlike PLA prints which required grinding and lubrication. MJF prints are comparable in stiffness to PLA prints. But these stand up to dishwasher temperature. If coated in epoxy, then MJF marcosticks can be used at the dinning table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Marcosticks-model-T-Training-Marcosticks-Shapeways-MJF-Nylon-12-GF-view-of-coupling-joint-at-closed-and-open-postures-IMG_2376-FRD-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Marcosticks-model-T-Training-Marcosticks-Shapeways-MJF-Nylon-12-GF-view-of-coupling-joint-at-closed-and-open-postures-IMG_2376-FRD-scaled-1-1024x693.jpg\" alt=\"model T Training Marcosticks -

You can get this printed at Xometry for $16 (minimum order amount $30), and at Shapeways for $30. They are basically identical in quality, texture and weight. But we like the way Shapeways sliced the model better. And it appears that the Shapeways print has gone through post-print processing to make the surface smooth, even though their website and ordering page do not explicitly state this. The joint from Xometry came out a bit too lose. It seems like Xometry&#8217;s slicing was too parsimonious.

In fact, this one is even more stiff than MJF and PLA. The trade-off is that the surface is sandstone-like, and the joint doesn&#8217;t move smoothly without further processing. This print is lighter than the MJF print. But it&#8217;s even more heat resistant. This is a process and material we can recommend. You can get this printed at Sculpteo for $33 in Dec 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that most print shops will tell you that gaps between the C-hook and the groove are too narrow. You will have to explicitly tell them that you take the risk that the two parts come out fused. In reality, all prints we did with MJF and SLS worked beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each print shop has its own slicing software it seems. Even with the same process and material, prints came out different. Some ended up with bigger gaps between the two parts, and others less. But all worked. Only three pairs require us to snap the two parts apart explicitly. See the section on post-print processing about these gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to print them yourself, or deal with third-party print shops, you can find partners who make training marcosticks <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/buy-from-partner\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"download-3d-models\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Download_3D_models\"><\/span>Download 3D models<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Download this ZIP file: <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/t1-training-marcosticks-m22-pla-chopsticks\/\">T1 Training Marcosticks &#8211; M22 PLA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also find training marcosticks in the <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/c1-marcosticks-combo-m22-pla-chopsticks\/\">C1 Combo PLA file<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This package can also be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:4682712\">Thingiverse 4682712<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Marcosticks-PrusaSlicer-model-T-Large-Training-Marcosticks-sliced-in-0.20mm-layers-without-brims-cropped.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Marcosticks-PrusaSlicer-model-T-Large-Training-Marcosticks-sliced-in-0.20mm-layers-without-brims-cropped-1024x415.png\" alt=\"Marcosticks - PrusaSlicer - model T Large - Training Marcosticks - sliced in 0.20mm layers - without brims\" class=\"wp-image-3519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Marcosticks-PrusaSlicer-model-T-Large-Training-Marcosticks-sliced-in-0.20mm-layers-without-brims-cropped-1024x415.png 1024w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Marcosticks-PrusaSlicer-model-T-Large-Training-Marcosticks-sliced-in-0.20mm-layers-without-brims-cropped-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Marcosticks-PrusaSlicer-model-T-Large-Training-Marcosticks-sliced-in-0.20mm-layers-without-brims-cropped-768x311.png 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Marcosticks-PrusaSlicer-model-T-Large-Training-Marcosticks-sliced-in-0.20mm-layers-without-brims-cropped-1536x622.png 1536w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Marcosticks-PrusaSlicer-model-T-Large-Training-Marcosticks-sliced-in-0.20mm-layers-without-brims-cropped.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Model T sliced in 0.20mm layers in PrusaSlicer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can print your own training marcosticks on your 3D printer.

If you don&#8217;t like it, you can simply reset printer settings to your own default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020_marcosticks_M19-Standard-Training-Chopsticks-printed-in-0.20mm-layers-on-Prusa-i3-MKS_IMG_0747_FRD-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020_marcosticks_M19-Standard-Training-Chopsticks-printed-in-0.20mm-layers-on-Prusa-i3-MKS_IMG_0747_FRD-scaled-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"M19 Standard Training Chopsticks printed in 0.20mm layers on Prusa i3 MKS\" class=\"wp-image-3097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020_marcosticks_M19-Standard-Training-Chopsticks-printed-in-0.20mm-layers-on-Prusa-i3-MKS_IMG_0747_FRD-scaled-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020_marcosticks_M19-Standard-Training-Chopsticks-printed-in-0.20mm-layers-on-Prusa-i3-MKS_IMG_0747_FRD-scaled-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020_marcosticks_M19-Standard-Training-Chopsticks-printed-in-0.20mm-layers-on-Prusa-i3-MKS_IMG_0747_FRD-scaled-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020_marcosticks_M19-Standard-Training-Chopsticks-printed-in-0.20mm-layers-on-Prusa-i3-MKS_IMG_0747_FRD-scaled-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020_marcosticks_M19-Standard-Training-Chopsticks-printed-in-0.20mm-layers-on-Prusa-i3-MKS_IMG_0747_FRD-scaled-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Training Marcosticks printed in 0.20mm layers with PLA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The STL files can be used direct in your own preferred slicer, if you don&#8217;t find the 3MF files useful, or you are not using a Prusa printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set layer height to 0.20mm.

Note that the top chopstick have a rotational range of 90\u00b0 around the longitudinal axis, and a 20\u00b0 tilting range. As mentioned, the top chopstick follows the twirling path prescribed by the Standard Grip. You should move the top chopstick along this twirling path, to smooth contact surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you smooth the contact surfaces, apply tiny amounts of lubricant to these contact parts, with a micro screw driver, or a paper clip. When done properly, you should be able to hold the top chopstick, and freely dangle the bottom chopstick without resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should not use 3D-printed objects in real eating situations, without understanding food-grade filaments and food-safe coatings. Make sure you read information about the topic on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/3d-print\/\">3D-print Your Own Marcosticks<\/a>, before you attempt to use 3D-printed chopsticks to eat anything. We recommend that you only rehearse the Standard Grip with printed chopsticks, if you do not know how to make them safe for actual eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instagram-pictures\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instagram_Pictures\"><\/span>Instagram Pictures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/trainingmarcosticks\/\">#TrainingMarcosticks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginner training marcosticks with articulated top chopstick that rotates and extends, following the Standard Grip motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"no","ocean_post_layout":"","ocean_both_sidebars_style":"","ocean_both_sidebars_content_width":0,"ocean_both_sidebars_sidebars_width":0,"ocean_sidebar":"0","ocean_second_sidebar":"0","ocean_disable_margins":"enable","ocean_add_body_class":"","ocean_shortcode_before_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_after_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_before_header":"","ocean_shortcode_after_header":"","ocean_has_shortcode":"","ocean_shortcode_after_title":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_bottom":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_bottom":"","ocean_display_top_bar":"default","ocean_display_header":"default","ocean_header_style":"","ocean_center_header_left_menu":"0","ocean_custom_header_template":"0","ocean_custom_logo":0,"ocean_custom_retina_logo":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_height":0,"ocean_header_custom_menu":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_family":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_subset":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_size":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_unit":"px","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_line_height":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_unit":"","ocean_menu_typo_spacing":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_unit":"","ocean_menu_link_color":"","ocean_menu_link_color_hover":"","ocean_menu_link_color_active":"","ocean_menu_link_background":"","ocean_menu_link_hover_background":"","ocean_menu_link_active_background":"","ocean_menu_social_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_links_color":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_color":"","ocean_disable_title":"default","ocean_disable_heading":"default","ocean_post_title":"","ocean_post_subheading":"","ocean_post_title_style":"","ocean_post_title_background_color":"","ocean_post_title_background":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_image_position":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_attachment":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_repeat":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_size":"","ocean_post_title_height":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay":0.5,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay_color":"","ocean_disable_breadcrumbs":"default","ocean_breadcrumbs_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_separator_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_hover_color":"","ocean_display_footer_widgets":"default","ocean_display_footer_bottom":"default","ocean_custom_footer_template":"0","ocean_post_oembed":"","ocean_post_self_hosted_media":"","ocean_post_video_embed":"","ocean_link_format":"","ocean_link_format_target":"self","ocean_quote_format":"","ocean_quote_format_link":"post","ocean_gallery_link_images":"off","ocean_gallery_id":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[45],"class_list":["post-3266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-training-chopsticks","tag-training-chopsticks","entry","has-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
