Knife Rack

thingiverse

Have you ever groped for a knife, grabbing several before finding the one you want? Have you ever considered how clean you knife block truly is? And have you ever gotten annoyed at how heavy and large your knife block is, and how it gets in the way, taking up precious space? No longer, as this is a fully washable knife rack with a clear view of all your knives. This rack can stand up, taking up very little counter space, even leaning forward slightly, mount on a wall or even under a cabinet. Things could be hung from the bottom when mounted like that, but nothing has yet been designed. It can hold 6 knives, four 27-millimeter wide knives and two 37-millimeter wide knives. The knives can be as thick as 3 millimeters, so it is better for thinner, less sturdy knives, such as bread knives or smaller knives, rather than thicker knives, such as the largest knives in the sets. However, when mounted under a cabinet, more knives or other things can be placed on top of it, forming a sort of shelf. It can be washed with relative ease, while it is even easier to decide when to wash it. The Dual lock, which the link to is in the instructions, is resilient, and will allow the rack to be moved around to different locations, without wearing out like double-sided tape. Print it out, and never grumble about your knife block again! Instructions Print DO NOT USE SUPPORTS. In the pictures, some roughness can be seen. These are from supports. Most come off easily, but certain parts are nearly impossible to remove. I even used a rotary tool in the sides. If can print soluble supports, go right ahead. But otherwise, stay clear of the supports. I designed it to bridge, and I have seen the same printer bridge further. Remove supports and raft(if any) This is not strictly necessary, but will make the design more aesthetically pleasing, and easier to clean.

They can be as wide as 18 millimeters, but after that, they will be wider than the rear supports. Put a set on the rack on the wide sections, and put some on the wall or under a cupboard with the SAME spacing. These will allow you to put the rack where you want it, and allow you to pop it off and move it. After that, nothing is required!
