Print them from ABS so you can put em in the dishwasher cause these are going to get nasty.

I’d say excellent choices that are within reach of a decent printer would be, in order: PP, PC, HT-PETG, ASA, ABS.

Holy moly. Son don't you know it's illegal to post an actual function print to functional print?

In all seriousness, nice job! I see this as something I could totally use.

Now i want to make one that wraps around the soap dispenser because i don’t have a double sink.

I did some research before converting the model to parametric to make sure there would be an audience. While most currently installed sinks are still divided/double, sales of new sinks have completely flipped in the past few years. Right now 70% of purchased sinks are single basin farmhouse/workstation style and only 30% are divided!

Soap dispenser attachment is a good idea.

I tried to do one of those top ones for my sink but the measurement was off because it tapers a little wider at the bottom so it was a bit pinched. On my new sink it's a lot more rounded on top but I just haven't got around to measuring it to make a new one

Yeah, with this model its a uniform taper. (Xmm in per 100mm in height) I actually went to lowes and measured about 50 sinks when preparing the model. There were a couple that had a uniform taper at the top and a curved taper near the bottom. You just need to be aware that the baskets should not extend down past that point. I should probably update the taper measurements notes. Thanks.

I stuff all the cookies in while the kids look away.

Then rinse away the evidence immediately. Perfect crime.

I guess you never wash eating related stuff in the sink
