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.

The photos help for me, but I mostly just try to make as many modifications as I can for each iteration. And I print 1mm 'base' prints until I'm satisfied it's ready for the final.

Oh yes! haha I often do the same with the 1mm type prints :)
