Really not too much else to say about this design. It prints super easily and snaps together. My wife absolutely loves them!

Print Settings

Functional designs (such as this one) generally require more strength than non-functional designs and more strength than the typical default slicer settings provide, so please review your slicer settings carefully.

This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle and a 0.2mm layer height. For best results, I suggest the following:

The original design had several problems, but the most significant was that there was no handle. And, even after I added a knob to it for lifting, it did not seem right because the knob did not help you open the Drainer. But the new design (posted here) solves that and so much more.

It is stronger and more durable, has improved drainage, better retention when closed, and raised ribs that encourage food scraps to slide off better.

The new handle is also part of the opening and closing system. When you lift the Drainer up using the handle, you are keeping it closed, which is important if it is full of food scraps as you swing around to your garage receptacle. Then you rotate your fingers slightly so that you can press the pressure point with your thumb, causing it to pop open, while at the same time holding the handle to suspend the Drainer. It might sound complicated but it feels very natural once you have done it a few times.

It prints as a single piece with one piece of support to be removed after printing. And, I recommend printing it in ABS if you can, as it has a higher Tg (glass temperature) than PLA and PETG, making it better able to survive the hot water typically found flowing into sinks.

Assembly Notes

There is no assembly required, but you do need to carefully defuse the print before using it and remove the built-in print support.

I reviewed a bunch of them out there in the market and tried to improve upon them. That may be subjective but I find this one to work extremely well. Simply lay a stem into the stripper using the slot closest to the size of the stem, squeeze closed the stripper, and pull the stem. So much better than using your finger when doing a large volume of plants.

Printing

This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.2mm layer height and the following settings:

Wall Line Count = 4 ( 4 x 0.4mm = 1.6mm walls )
Top and Bottom Layer Count = 5 ( 5 x 0.2mm = 1.0mm top and bottom )
Infill = 40%, Cubic
Ironing = OFF (not needed)
Support = All required support is designed into this product
Brim = NO (a brim can complicate details of print-in-place parts and parts printed close together – If you have to use a brim, set it to “outside only”)
Material = Food grade PETG recommended (any material should work fine)
Print Orientation: As shown below.

Assembly Notes

No assembly or post-print processing is required.
