      My planar spoon collapses during the print process. Apparently this is a common problem. Is there a secret or common method or software to solve this problem?

        Kellen, you can try rotating the spoon 90 degrees so it's laying on its edge, but shallow curves are always hard to print on an FFF (filament) printer.

        You could also try using Meshmixer (it's free!) to generate the supports and see if that helps.
