This is my own from-scratch redesign of a self-draining soap dish, created in FreeCAD.
Inspiration
Inspired by this beautiful design - “Soap dish (always dry soap)” by Vasichkin on Printables:
https://www.printables.com/model/968118-soap-dish-always-dry-soap
Features
The design uses raised ribs to reduce the contact area between the soap and the surface, helping the bar dry faster and stay firm longer. The base is slightly sloped so water and soap residue can drain away more easily. Bottom runners lift the dish above the sink or countertop for better stability and airflow.
I was inspired by the general idea of the “always dry soap” concept, but this model was rebuilt from scratch with different geometry, rib layout, and bottom support structure.
