Dish Rack - The Drying Elephant - Dish Dryer Rack

Are you also doing your dishes by hand? Well I do and i got really tired of drying my cutlery by hand and i had nowhere to place them...

So I designed this elephant, inspired by Peleg Design.

It uses a channel and angle on the inside to let water flow outwards from the snout of the elephant. Prints best with solvable materials (PVA + PLA for example). The inside is OK without support, but the legs are right now a mess to remove PLA if you use only 1 extruder. I will update this shortly!

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

Infill:

Notes:

You can use a single extruder and get good result!

I printed with Orbi-tech PVA as support material, solved in cold water overnight.

Post-Printing

Clear coat = waterproof

Using 2-3 layers of clearcoating (quite excessively on the inside) the model is fully waterproof and all the water left on the cutlery, channeling it out from the snout.
