July 31, 2025

Already printed your measuring scoops and sponge holders? Ready to upgrade your kitchen game? Welcome to Kitchen Gadgets 2.0—a round-up of more advanced, functional, and clever 3D prints that’ll make your cooking routine smarter, faster, and a whole lot more fun.

These prints are designed to tackle real-life kitchen challenges, from food waste to tight storage, while blending with your personal kitchen style.

Why Advanced Kitchen Prints Are Worth It

Once you’ve covered the basics, it’s time to print tools that solve niche problems—like portion control, ingredient dispensing, or herb drying. Advanced kitchen prints may require a bit more design finesse or post-processing, but they deliver maximum value over time.

Many of these models include:

  • Moving parts,
  • Modular components,
  • Or food-safe design practices.
