I printed a small sponge holder a while back and have been using it about a year now. Ive been seeing these ads for silicone drainers lately and decided to make something similar. This is actually v2. The first one had a separate base and grates on top but I didn’t like how it turned out. This is a combined grate and base. Printed in 4 pieces and welded together.

    Thanks. Epoxy definitely wouldn’t hurt, but I don’t find it necessary. The old one, printed in PLA, I used about a year with no issues.

        Post if you do. Love seeing interesting household prints. If you’re curious, how I designed it, I took an overhead photo and brought that into Fusion360. Scaled it to proper size and then just designed on top of the canvas. Did the same thing with a silverware organizer I made a while back. Took a few test prints (just a 1mm base with the holes cut out). I had to make a few fine adjustments, but it fits perfectly now.
