Fluted Cover for IKEA DRAGAN Soap Dispenser

A replacement cover for the IKEA DRAGAN soap dispenser. It uses the original bottle and pump and replaces only the bamboo cover. It’s designed in the same style as my Fluted Lipstick and Earring Organizers.

The flutes are vertical, so water runs off them instead of collecting soap on horizontal ledges. Each flute starts and ends with a smooth 12 mm transition into a plain band at the top and bottom. A slim window in the middle flute on the narrow side shows the soap level through the translucent bottle. The cover stands on 3 mm corner feet that taper off along the edges, so it never sits in water on a wet sink.

Features:

• Fits the original DRAGAN bottle and pump. The top opening is Ø28 mm on top and Ø30 mm underneath, with a step halfway through the 5.5 mm wall, the same as the original.

• 11 flutes on the wide sides and 7 on the narrow sides (R2.5 mm, 1.2 mm deep, 6 mm pitch)

• 14 mm smooth bands at the top and bottom with gradual flute transitions

• Soap level window, 4.3 × 62 mm, the exact width of the flute

• Rounded vertical edges and a chamfered top edge

• Corner feet that can be printed in a contrasting colour

• Dimensions: 85 × 65 × 122 mm, plus 3 mm feet (W × D × H)

Print settings

• Orientation: upside down, as provided in the file. The top face with the opening goes on the bed.

• Supports: not needed

• Walls: 4

• Infill: 10–15 %, gyroid recommended

• Top / bottom layers: 5 / 5

• Layer height: 0.2 mm

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm

• Brim: not needed

Contrasting feet (optional): The feet are the last 3 mm of the print. In your slicer’s layer preview, add a filament change at 122 mm, and everything above that height prints in the second colour. On a single-nozzle printer without an AMS, use a pause at the same layer and swap filament by hand.

Material: PETG is the safest choice for a bathroom because it handles heat, cleaning products and drops better. PLA works fine for everyday use if the dispenser doesn’t sit near a radiator or in direct sunlight.

Tips:

• If you want to be extra careful, you can cut off the first ~8 mm in your slicer and print only the top plate to check the fit on your bottle neck. That said, the tolerances seem to be generous enough, so this step should not be necessary.

• Place the seam on a rear corner, where the rounded edge hides it best.

• For silk filaments, slow the outer wall to 30–40 mm/s for an even sheen.
