Made it so the finger grips fit better and it doesn’t spin around anymore, and also thickened the hinge so that the chopsticks don’t overlap each other so easily and therefore it is easier to keep hold of things
I only have PLA therefore my one isn’t food-safe, I just wanted to show proof of concept. If you plan on using this regularly please make sure you implement the correct measures to ensure your chopsticks are safe to use.

How I Designed This
Took a few tries, but I first wanted to extend the finger grips to stop the chopsticks from spinning all the time. My first model already worked much better, but still felt a bit too loose when I used my mouse at the same time.
In my second model, I increased the curvature to make the grips more hook-like and also increased the springiness by thickening the hinge by 0.5mm
I also fixed the overlapping issue by thickening the hinge vertically, so it drops food less often.
