Description
I made this soap mould holder/rotator for my darling's soap-making activities. It holds the wood/silicone soap mould at any angle you like for pouring/shaping of the soap. It's quite sturdy.
Ignore the progressive red soap scrapers in the pics - they're from another project.
The holder comes in six pieces altogether. Two holders, two Plinths and two Struts. The assemble/dissassemble in seconds and have been sized so that they store completely within the soap mould itself.
The tilt markings are at 10 degree spacings (plus 45 deg) ie zero, 10, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50 and 60 degrees.
An observation: I had better printing results (smoother curves) when I imported the STEP files into PrusaSlicer as "high mesh quality" rather than just printing from the 3MF files (no control over quality).
A note: I don't know how "standard" the sizes of these soap mould wooden boxes are. I designed this one for my wife's. If yours is too tight or too loose - you could probably just increase/decrease the scale factor to suit.
Details:
I used Silk PLA in my testing and final print. Seems to work just fine. Im sure just about anything would work. Probably even TPU if that's your bent ;-)
Two perimeters and the default 15% infill (triangles rather than grid?) will suffice I'm sure.
