Utensil dryer basket

Take my word for it -- this newer version is much better: https://www.printables.com/model/1696682-utensil-dryer.  Being two pieces, it's much easier to keep clean and you can easily print it in two colors.

Fully parameterized utensil drying rack.  OpenSCAD requires the BOSL2 library.

There are a couple other versions available now (August, 2023):

• Recommended instead of this version, prints faster and uses less filament https://www.printables.com/model/563700-utensil-drying-rack-with-circular-perforations-ope

• Without perforations, great for workbench https://www.printables.com/model/548288-workbench-tool-caddy-openscad-parametric

• Voronoi: https://www.printables.com/model/736316-utensil-dryer-dressed-in-voronoi

At the default dimensions this is a really long print, 13 hours on Bambu X1C.  (Those hex cutouts are expensive – they save filament, and in case of a drying rack are functional, but 37% of the 13 hours are “travel time”!

Tips for printing the hexagon perforations:

• Thick walls, 2.5 mm or more

• Large hex space, 3 mm or more

• Reduce printer acceleration if you are printing on a fast machine

I spent hours on this model to perfect the bottom and side perforations: please be generous with your Likes and share your Makes.

UPDATE Oct. 17, 23:  I will never ask you to donate or buy me a coffee.  Printables gives me Prusameters once in a while, but their reward system is geared towards 10,000 download fidget toys, not the mostly useful designs that I pride myself on, that get 5 or 10 downloads per month.  Maker World does a much better job in this respect, so I am migrating my designs there.  STL file remains here; please look for this model at the other site if you want the fully parametric scad code.  Thanks for your understanding!
