Laboratory Test Tube Basket Stand – Angled Drying & Pre-Drain Support

This laboratory stand is designed to hold a standard test tube basket at an angle while test tubes are collected after experiments. Instead of placing the basket flat, the stand keeps it tilted so remaining liquids can flow out of the test tubes in advance. This reduces residue buildup and makes later cleaning more efficient.

Especially useful in school laboratories where many test tubes accumulate during lessons. Students can place used glassware directly into the angled basket, allowing liquids to drain before the basket is transferred to the dishwasher.

The design is simple, stable and optimized for quick printing with minimal material usage. The open structure allows liquids to run off freely without collecting inside the model.
