Bag Drying Extensions for Simple Human Dish Rack

These clip onto the wine glass rack of a SimpleHuman Kitchen Steel Frame Dish Rack and greatly facilitate the drying of plastic bags. (Specifically, the full size dish rack from 2019; they change their designs on occasion.)

Washing a single bag can reportedly emit more CO2 than making a new bag, so to keep that plastic out of the landfill (or worse, ocean), you want to do a bunch at a time, but then where do you put them to dry?

So, trying to save putting plastic into the waste stream, I've put plastic into the waste stream developing this. Hopefully, it will even out soon enough and perhaps it will work for you, too!

Printer Brand:

Prusa

Printer:

Mk2.5s

Rafts:

No

Supports:

No

Resolution:

0.35mm

Infill:

20%

Filament: eSun PETG translucent green

Notes:

Parts are thin, so you'll want a skirt. I was able to get 4 onto the Prusa's 240mmx210mm bed

I went for 5 perimeters to help ensure strength and PET for flexibility. So far, they've survived having a roasting pan fall back onto them.

Infill affects only a layer or two (there's no reason not to go for the thickest layers you can manage with your nozzle).

Post-Printing

Glue in pairs

While they work individually, I wound up gluing pairs together back-to-back for greater stability.
