A drip tray with a grid that sends water into the sink instead of leaving a puddle: dishes, baby bottles and teats dry on a dry grid.
You have washed baby bottles, teats, lids or kitchen tools, and now they need somewhere to dry. This tray solves it: you put things on the grid, the water goes down and runs to the outlet at the tray's corner, straight into the sink instead of onto the counter.
The shape does the work. The floor slopes 3° toward the outlet, so water does not sit, it runs to the notch. The tray is printed in PETG with a 0.16 mm layer: the surface comes out smoother, and water drains better than on a coarse layer. PETG copes well with a wet environment, which is why we recommend it.
On top lies a separate grid of hexagonal cells. Every cell has a 0.8 × 1.5 mm chamfer, so water does not hang on the grid in droplets and things do not stand in a puddle. Hexagons are also strong, and they look modern. In the middle of the grid there is a large opening: it makes the grid easy to grab and lift out to rinse or wipe the tray. The grid simply rests on the ribs of the tray and stays put without any fasteners.
The tray measures 200 × 200 mm, or 210 × 200 mm with the outlet, and is about 20 mm high. That suits a small counter or the edge of a sink.
We print without supports and without skirt or brim: the tray and the grid are printed separately, and there is nothing to assemble, the grid just sits in the tray. You choose the colour separately for the tray and the grid: for example black, as in the photo, or a light tray with a contrasting grid. Order it, and the kitchen counter will no longer be wet after every wash.
