I printed a small sponge holder a while back and have been using it about a year now. Ive been seeing these ads for silicone drainers lately and decided to make something similar. This is actually v2. The first one had a separate base and grates on top but I didn’t like how it turned out. This is a combined grate and base. Printed in 4 pieces and welded together.
This exact thing is at the top of my todo list.
I hadn’t thought about doing as one big piece and just putting a collar around the faucet.
I have been searching STLs for ideas and hoping to find something that would offer a good starting place and give me a jump into creating it (I’m still a bit of a 3d cad newb). I don’t suppose you have the files hosted anywhere that I could grab them?
I made it in Fusion360. Can send you the file if you want.
I would appreciate that.

Here you go. Let me know if you have any issues or questions. I try to use sketches and organize, but I’m not great at it yet, lol.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
I made something like this for my sink. It’s basically a ramp that directs water back into the sink near the faucet. Wet hand + faucet handle over counter = water on counter. We’ve since changed our instant hot water tap, so the fixture doesn’t fit as well as it used to, but it’s still good enough.
