Delivered order · from
The minimum delivered price of an order today, at the cheapest printer available: an order always includes a manufacturing minimum, delivery and the service.
Order limits
Up to 100 copies per online order, $2,278 incl. VAT at most; above that, a custom quote.
What brings the price down
- thin the non-structural walls
- switch to printed PETG (redo the safety calculation)
- reduce the dimensions that are not imposed
Only a stainless part that touches food (tube, blade) is bought: it's chosen ready to use, used as sold and listed with an Amazon link. A drawer organiser mostly costs by its volume: thin walls and limited height bring the price down.
How do you get a custom kitchen accessory made?
- Describe the task or the storageWhat the accessory must do or hold, and in which unit. Add a photo of the drawer or the appliance to fit.
- MeasureInside dimensions of the drawer or the door, jar diameters, appliance dimensions. Take off 1 to 2 mm for clearance.
- Say what touches foodThe AI keeps those parts for stainless steel sold ready to use and prints everything else around them: handle, holder, base.
- Check the 3D previewAdjust dimensions with the free sliders and give each part a colour, in the chat or the Materials tab; any stainless part appears with an Amazon link.
- OrderChoose the material and colour; the firm price, VAT and delivery included, is shown before you pay.
What the AI will ask you
- Say whether any part of the object touches food: it will be planned in stainless steel, a part bought ready to use.
- Give the dimensions of the drawer, the door or the appliance to fit.
- Pick a delivered print budget range, or “No limit”.
- Say where it goes: near the hob, above the sink, in a cupboard.
- Say the colour you want and whether you prefer a soft grip.
Is 3D printed plastic safe for food contact?
Not at objekto: no printed material is certified for food contact. A part that touches food is therefore the bought exception: stainless steel sold ready to use (tube, blade), used as sold and listed with an Amazon link. Everything else is printed, on the hand side: handle, holder, base, storage.
- A printed part is slightly porous: wash it by hand, without soaking; the dishwasher isn't recommended.
- An organiser holds clean cutlery; it isn't a food container.
- No printed part is presented as a cutting edge: a blade is always a bought stainless blade, used as sold.
That's the idea behind hybrid gadgets: only the stainless part touches the food, while the handle and the base are printed.
Can you use a 3D printed accessory near the hob?
Not in contact with heat: printed parts warp above a certain temperature, lower for PETG than for PA12. Keep them away from the hob, the oven and direct steam; a spice rack is better fixed inside a door or in a drawer.
For a pan handle or a trivet, choose an off-the-shelf product made for heat. For storage elsewhere in the home, see made-to-measure storage.
Which material should you choose for a kitchen accessory?
- PA12 (SLS): rigid and light, for organisers, holders and handles; with a vapour-smoothed finish it's easier to clean.
- Flexible TPE (SLS): a rubber-like feel for non-slip pads, grips and stops.
- TPU 95A: flexible and abrasion-resistant, for a handle grip or a clip that has to flex.
- Printed PETG (FDM): the “Economy” option for simple storage, in several colours; the layers stay visible.
| Material | Min. wall | Min. detail | Min. clearance | Max. size (mm) | Properties | Price |

What won't objekto do in the kitchen?
- No certified food contact: a part that touches food is bought stainless steel, ready to use.
- No printed blades: anything that cuts is a stainless blade bought as is.
- No dishwasher: hand wash, without soaking.
- No accessories for heat: no pan handles, no trivets, nothing near the oven.
- No food containers, water bottles or baby bottles.

Got a model of a holder or an organiser (STL, 3MF, OBJ or STEP), your own or an openly licensed one? Import it: the AI adapts it to your drawers and jars, then has it printed. Respect the original model's licence; the food-contact rules stay the same.
Frequently asked questions
Is 3D printed plastic food safe?
On objekto, no printed material is certified for food contact: don't use it as a container, a board or a utensil that touches food. A gadget that touches food is designed as a hybrid: the part in contact is a stainless piece bought ready to use, and everything else is printed, on the hand or storage side. Details per material are on the materials page.
Can I get a cutlery drawer organiser in a custom size?
Yes: measure the inside of the drawer, list what it needs to hold (cutlery, ladles, spatulas) and the AI designs the compartments to those dimensions, split into modules if the drawer is large. Clean cutlery can be stored in it; the organiser is washed by hand. The sliders adjust the dimensions for free before you order.
How much does a custom spice rack cost?
Designing a one-part rack costs 950 credits, or 1,900 credits for 2–4 parts, then the print is paid in US dollars, delivery included, at the price shown before you order. A delivered order always includes a manufacturing minimum, delivery and the service; beyond that, the number of jars and the material set the price. Printed PETG is the most economical option.
Can a 3D printed kitchen accessory go in the dishwasher?
No, the dishwasher isn't recommended: printed parts are slightly porous and can warp in the heat. Wash them by hand in soapy water, without soaking. The vapour-smoothed PA12 finish seals the pores and makes cleaning easier. The stainless parts of a hybrid gadget are washed like your other utensils.
Can I design a kitchen gadget that doesn't exist yet?
Yes, with Invent mode (Creator plan): describe the task to make easier, the AI suggests three directions, then designs the parts, with ready-to-use stainless steel wherever the object touches food. Invent mode adds 650 credits to the design. For an invention outside the kitchen, see inventions and prototypes.
Which kitchen items can't be 3D printed?
Anything that cuts, anything that touches food and anything that gets hot: blades, containers, water bottles, pan handles, trivets. These stay off-the-shelf products; objekto designs the holder, the handle or the storage around them, in PA12, PETG or a flexible material.
