Hanging Soap Dish for Square Shower Rod angled at 45 degrees

This hanging soap dish will really only work on towel rods that are square and mounted at 45 degrees.

I needed one for my bathroom so I put this together. Built in Blender, printed in PLA, painted then sealed with clear coat.

I sized the model to fit snugly over a 20mm x 20mm square rod while still being about to slide side to side to position it.

It's likely strong enough to hold other shower things, small bottle of shampoo, a razor, etc...

Enjoy :)

Update: New version available, stronger, easier to print... After a few months of use I knocked the original print off the rod by accident and it shattered. Since this was one of my first models, and done in Blender, I thought I'd remodel it in Fusion 360 and see the progress I've made in 3D modeling for printing. I've uploaded for use finally after seeing continued interest in the original model.

The V2 STL is easier to print, only needing supports on the floating 45 degree angle sections. It is much stronger, the angle supports attached to the base being considerable thicker. I also think it looks nicer, with subtle fillets knocking out the sharp corners.

On this print I popped it off the bed, cleaned up what little bits the supports left on the underside, and gave it a couple coats of clear coat spray paint to seal it. It looks nice, and has done it's job well for about a year now with no discoloring or molding.
