Description

Say goodbye (for good) to soggy, slow-drying sponges.
This upgraded drip tray builds on the original wave design by combining a sloped drainage plane with raised airflow studs, maximizing both water runoff and air circulation.

What’s New in This Version

  • Sloped Base (FlowSlope Design)
    The entire bottom surface is subtly angled toward the front spout, allowing water to drain more efficiently and consistently—no standing puddles, even after heavy use.

  • Air-Lift Studs for Better Drying
    Raised studs lift the sponge slightly above the surface, increasing airflow from all sides. This reduces moisture buildup, speeds up drying, and helps prevent odors.

  • Dedicated Drainage Spout
    Position the front edge over your sink and let gravity do the work. Excess water drains directly away, keeping your countertop dry and hygienic.

  • Minimalist & Functional
    Clean geometry, smooth walls, and practical detailing—designed to look good next to any sink while solving a very real everyday problem.

Sizes Included

  • Standard (95 × 65 mm)
    Perfect for standard kitchen sponges.

  • to be continued......

Printing Recommendations

  • Material: PETG or ASA recommended for moisture and cleaning-chemical resistance
    (PLA works, but may degrade faster over time)

  • Supports: None required

  • Infill: 15–20%

  • Watertightness:
    Calibrate flow or use 3 perimeters to ensure the tray is fully watertight
