Drain tray for kitchen sponge v2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be sure to orient the model so the large overhang is facing the print fan to avoid a saggy overhang.

I made this drain tray becuase I realized that I had no-where good to put down my kitchen sponge when I was doing the dishes. Getting water and soap everywhere meant that I also had to clean the kitchen table. So, I designed this drain tray which holds a standard 95mm x 65mm sponge (that's 3.74015748" x 2.55905512" in freedom units). As suggested, I added a removable grate to raise the sponge allowing air to flow underneath it so it dries faster.

The feet are two different heights and the tray bed is slanted to help it drain better. The feet also gives the tray a clearance of 6mm (0.236220472" bald eagles/apple pies) in case your sink has a ‘lip’ like mine.

I printed mine on a stock Prusa Mini+ in PLA at 0.3mm layer heigth (costom profile used for the .gcode file) to reduce print time at the cost of surface finish. Use supports for the curved part as shown in picture 2. The legs and overhang at the top should have an angle steep enough that they print fine without support.
