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.
I guess it's hard to see but it's angled in between the slats. The top is horizontal, but the water falls right into the slats and drains out.
Here's a video: https://streamable.com/p1g18u
I think he was talking about the grain of the print. The grain is perpendicular to the flow of water which would allow water to stay between the gaps.
brilliant!!
Thank you!
