The squeeze tubes of herbs were flopping around in my fridge door, annoying me when I wanted something from that shelf of the fridge door.
This is a truly simple honeycomb holder to keep them in their place, upright.
The tubeHolder.scad source code is for the free, open-source, cross-platform OpenSCAD, using the free, open-source, cross-platform BOSL2 library.
Once I've defined a few constants, the code is just:
linear_extrude(height){ grid_copies(spacing=2*(rad+thick/2), n=3, stagger=true){ zrot(180/6){ stroke(closed=true, width=thick, hexagon(ir=rad+thick/2)); } }}
Without the unnecessary { } it would be a single line of code.
I measured my squeeze tubes with a calipers and the one with the largest diameter measured 40mm. I gave 1mm of clearance all the way around.
Since I'm using BOSL2, I did not mark this as a Thingiverse Customizer, but if you are running OpenSCAD locally, it should be customizable for you just fine.

I used a brim, but on my printer I still had some warping at the outer corners after the first layers. For a print like this, it doesn't matter: I just flipped the result upside down so it sits flush on the fridge door shelf.
