Hi,

— new update - see below — 

this design started with The3Designer's model. I initially was just in need for a shower holder with suction cups. I liked his voronoi holder but I wanted it with a differnt color for the voronoi mesh. So I tried to make a few changes and edits here and there. And after a few hours I finally had a design I liked. The result is quite different from his. But since it originated from his model I publish it here as a remix.


new:
Two types of holders with new design. One with a flat top, one with a curved top.
Changeble inserts with different patterns available e.g. voronoi mesh, curved lines, curved slots, hex pattern, a plate with sun & rays, full closed plate (more of a template for further pattern). See pictures.

For now I only printed the types I really like, which are: hex pattern, voronoi mesh and curved lines.

my print settings:

holders:
- filament = Elegoo Rapid PLA+ white
- 0,3 mm layer height @ 0,4 nozzle
- 3 perimeters
- 10% gyroid infill
- solid layer: 3 top & bot
- supports: yes, organic
- orientation as in the pictures

inserts:
- filament = Sunlu PLA+ grey
- 0,25 mm layer height @ 0,4 nozzle
- 4 perimeters
- 10% gyroid infill
- solid layer: 4 top & bot
- supports: no
- ironing on all surfaces

Important notes: 
All inserts have to be printed with a scaling (in slicer) of 99,5% in X and Y. Otherwise it might not fit. Z can stay 100%. A small test model for a scaling test is included.

Before printing all the models (holders and inserts) they have to be rotated once 180°. In the files the print surface of the models is looking up.

For the used suctions cups see the provided picture with the measurement. I ordered them here. This set from amazon contains multiple sizes. I am using the 30 mm type in this model.
Using screws or glue is also possible if you like. I prefer a removable option like these suction cups.

update V1.1 - 16.10.2024

Added a stackable version of the flat holder variant 

I made a new variant of the flat version. Included is a new bottom/middle and a new top holder with mounting holes on top/bottom for stacking with the provided connector rods or with anything round with a 5 mm diameter. The holes are 5,20 mm by design so there should be still enough clearance. If not there is a small scaling dummy of the hole and the rod part included for optimizing a scaling factor. In the files are two rods provided with a stackable height of 100 mm each. One is round and one is hex shaped for easier printing on the side.

The last picture shows a render image of the stacked version with 2 levels. More level are possible, just print multiple “Holder-Flat-Stackable-Mid” and more connector rods. You then also need more suction cups.

I did not print this new stackable version myself. I had the idea for it during showering and it wanted out into the real world. So I add it here in case one needs more shelf room. 

Printing parameters and printing notes are the same as for V1.0.

If you have any suggestions for other patterns (and if I have time) I might be willing to design it and add it to this collection.


Happy printing & showering!

Differences of the remix compared to the original

What is like the original:

  • idea: soap holder with suction cups
  • voronoi pattern
