Soap Box with Mesh Bed for Floating, Quick-Drying Design

This 3D-printed soap box showcases a unique floating design, enhanced by a recessed taper at the bottom that creates a subtle shadow, giving the illusion that the box is hovering above the surface. The low-angle ramp efficiently directs water to the drainage holes, while the fully grooved bottom, with square rails, prevents suction on wet surfaces, ensuring the box stays in place. The mesh bed promotes airflow, keeping your soap dry and helping it last longer.

Print Settings:

• Material: PLA is recommended for easy printing, though PETG can be used for extra durability in wet environments.
• Layer Height: 0.20 mm for a balance between detail and speed.
• Infill: 15-20% for strength and lightweight structure.
• Walls: 2 walls for optimal strength and print efficiency.
• Supports: Use tree slim supports for the grooved square rails at the bottom to ensure they print perfectly. Tree supports can be easily removed without leaving marks, ensuring clean details.
• Print Orientation: Print the soap box flat with the open side facing up for the best results.
• Wall Thickness: 1.2 mm for a sturdy build.
• Adhesion: A brim is suggested to avoid warping, particularly with PETG or similar materials.

Additional Tips:

• The recessed taper at the bottom creates a stunning floating effect with shadows, making the soap box visually appealing in any setting.
• The square grooves on the bottom benefit from tree slim supports, ensuring they print with precision and are easy to clean up afterward.
• The low-angle ramp allows water to drain efficiently, preventing buildup and ensuring your soap dries quickly.
• If the soap adheres to the mesh bed, consider gluing the mesh to the box for a secure and lasting attachment.
