Kitchen sink drain filter basket designed with 3D printing 2023-03-24 23:49:57 I drew it according to the size of my own kitchen sink drain and it works pretty well, so I want to share it with everyone. After 3D printing, I found that the flat bottom caused the garbage to accumulate in the middle and slowed down the draining speed. To solve this problem, I used hot water to soften the material and pressed the bottom into a concave shape with a heat-resistant kitchen glove. In actual printing, I used PC (polycarbonate) material which is highly heat-resistant and not easily deformed by hot water in the kitchen (when pouring large amounts of hot soup, you can also turn on cold water to reduce the temperature. Besides, the drainpipe is also made of plastic, so you should not pour too much hot water at once). In addition, when designing the model, I made the bottom solid and adjusted the top and bottom to 0mm during printing, with a 40% infill (adjusted according to the required aperture), a 1.2mm fill line, and a 3mm wall thickness.
