Miserable Octopus Hot Dog Jig

A simple 3D printed jig for turning regular hot dogs into miserable little octopuses. Cut a hot dog in half, push the flat end through the cutting jig to create the legs, then roll it over one of the four included faces to give your octopus the appropriate level of sadness. Drop it into boiling water and the legs will curl up as it cooks.   Despite the joke in the video, the issue is not simply whether the filament itself is considered food-safe. Even materials commonly considered suitable for food contact, such as PLA, can become problematic when FDM printed. Layer lines, small gaps, and surface imperfections can trap food residue and bacteria, and these areas can be difficult to clean and sanitize properly over time. For that reason, use it at your own discretion.
