Printed a simple soap tray- it was just a plate printed vertically- 3mm thick with rounded edges.

Prusaslicer settings were 1.5mm fuzzy skin with 2mm connection points, spiral mode with zero bottom infil, and a 3mm brim for adhesion. (The brim is easy to remove, and the edge looks nicer with with no infill.)
100%extrusion width.

not to be that guy... but to me it looks like the gunk-accumulator 3000!

So much cheaper that the gunk accumulators I usually buy

oh yeah. I've been fooling around with the fuzzy skin setting because I never used it (curiosity can get me like that.). Dad asked for one to fit inside his little shower's nook-shelf-thing after seeing a lamp shade.... This was a test print that's finding use in my own shower.

fuzzy skin +spiral mode also found use for an aeroponic's basket for those not-quite-aeroponic's towers. they provided a better net basket for things that have smaller root structures, while still draining fully.

Wash them. But it’s not going to turn moldy (it dries out quickly)

That's really neat, do you have a link to the STL?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think the STL is just a rectangle

okay, cool - I'll try it out, thanks!

It is a rectangle, but the trick is to start the print with the nozzle 1mm off the bed to replicate the texture.
