Wine bottle draining rack

thingiverse

Simple wine bottle draining rack (for post-sterilising when homebrewing). Designed to hold 9 bottles having 32mm max outer neck diameter and 75mm body diameter (I use Wilkinson green/clear corked wine bottles UK) though should fit others. Holds the bottles vertically with neck downwards to ensure no fluid collects at the shoulder of the bottles like can happen with some angled racks. Stable with just 1 bottle in any hole too. I printed this in PLA with a 1.0mm nozzle with 0.8mm layer height (it's what was in the printer at the time!) but I'm sure you could print with other nozzle sizes. The 1mm nozzle makes printing low detail big structures quick and they are very strong. 15% infill, it is very rigid and feels very competent. Printed slow at 50mm/s took around 2hrs Print this flat side down, no supports etc. I used no bed adhesion apart from a dash of hairspray. It's around 192mm square so needs a bed size to suit. I guess you could upscale this a few percent to cater for pressurised bottles being that bit thicker at the neck and wider in the body. Cheers!
