Berry Vortex – Fruit Rinsing Bowl

Berry Vortex is a 3D printed fruit rinsing tool designed to make washing berries and small fruits easier and more efficient.

The idea behind Berry Vortex is simple: instead of only spraying water onto fruits, the fruits remain immersed while water circulates around them.

Water can be added in two different ways:

• From the top opening, like a traditional rinse.

• Through the handle, creating a bottom-up water flow that circulates inside the container.

The water then exits through the front grille, allowing continuous rinsing while keeping fruits contained.

The circulation effect helps move water around the fruits, gently removing dust, small debris, or residues before eating.

Designed for easy 3D printing

Berry Vortex was designed with simplicity in mind:

• Print-and-go design

• Single-piece print

• No supports required

• No assembly required

• Printed in its natural upright orientation, like a jug placed on a table

Just download, slice, and print.

Possible uses

Berry Vortex was originally designed for berries and small fruits such as:

• Strawberries

• Blueberries

• Raspberries

• Similar small fruits

However, 3D printing is also about experimentation. This design may inspire other uses, such as rinsing vegetables, kitchen ingredients, small objects, or anything else that benefits from gentle water circulation.

Feel free to adapt, remix, improve, and share your creations!

Printing settings

Recommended settings:

• Material: PETG

• Layer height: 0.20 mm

• Perimeters: 3 or more

• Infill: 15-25%

• Supports: None required

PETG was chosen for its durability, water resistance, and ability to create a strong long-lasting object.

Food use disclaimer

Berry Vortex is designed as a rinsing tool.

Please note that typical FDM 3D printing materials and printing processes are not recommended for long-term food storage or certified food contact applications.

Layer lines and the printing process can create areas where residues or bacteria may accumulate.

This object should be used only for rinsing and should not replace certified food-safe kitchen containers.

Enjoy!

I hope Berry Vortex helps make a small everyday task a little more fun.

I would love to see your prints, improvements, and remixes!
