Training chopsticks 3D for print

These chopsticks work more like tweezers, for kids or others who haven't mastered the true art yet. Inspired by some I found in a to...y store a long time ago.
I found a public domain dinosaur SVG for the top, drew the chopsticks in Inkscape, and then pulled it into FreeCAD to extrude it.
FreeCAD and SVG source are included if you want to change thickness, add a different mascot, or do whatever you want.
Use plenty of infill so they don't crack as they bend. We used double wall thickness (2 mm) and 75% infill. Layer height does not matter; we used 0.35 mm.

Obviously you should print them in a material whose food safety you are comfortable with. We printed them in PETG. They have gone through the dishwash...er (and kids hands) without damage.Use plenty of infill so they don't crack as they bend. We used double wall thickness (2 mm) and 75% infill.
