Description
A single-bay sponge tray that hooks over the rim of a kitchen sink
and hangs the tray inside the basin. Sized to a standard kitchen
sponge (~95 × 60 × 25 mm) with ~5 mm slack on every side, snug enough
to keep the sponge in place but loose enough to slide in wet. Floor
drain slots and lower-wall drains let water run straight back into
the basin so the sponge dries between uses.
Tray — 100 × 65 × 28 mm inner volume.
- Floor drains — long parallel slots in the floor, parallel to the
rim direction. Drips fall straight through.
- Side / front / back drains — 32 mm horizontal slots near the
floor of every wall so the sponge isn't sitting in a sealed pool.
- Hook clamp — back wall extends up and over the sink rim, then
drops a second leg back down to bed level. The two legs grip a
rim about 6 mm thick (typical drop-in stainless rim). The outer
leg doubles as an external water-runoff surface.
Orientation: open top UP. The outer hook leg drops all the way
to bed level so the whole print sits flat on the bed.
- Supports: none required.
- Layers: 0.2 mm.
- Walls: 3.
- Infill: 15 %.
- Filament: ~80 g PLA.
Everything is parametric at the top of sink_sponge_tray.scad— the
sponge footprint, wall thickness, drain slot sizes, and most
importantly rim_grip_thickness(the gap between the back wall and
the outer leg). Print a test hook first if your rim is unusual; the
default 6 mm fits most drop-in stainless sinks.
