I was sick of waiting for washed up baby bottles to dry (Maybe just our humid climate), so i designed a bottle dryer.

Its very simple and could definitely be made better, but it works a treat.

Fit a standard 120mm fan. I'm using a mains powered fan I had lying around, but a 12v fan should do just fine.

Due to wanting to avoid supports inside the model, I didn't hollow out the entire base, which means you cant bolt the fan down.

You could remix it to have indents that accept standard fan screws, but for my use, having locating pegs works better.

I printed it on an X1C with a .6 Nozzle, .3 layer heights, 10% infill and 3 walls. No supports or brim necessary.

Don't be too harsh on the design, I only know how to use tinkercad.. and only a little bit.. Its my first upload, and just thought I'd share for some other time poor parents out there.

The photo shows a spacer (My first version had the spacing wrong for the locator pegs so instead of reprinting the whole thing, I just printed an adapter plate to make it work.)

 

The fan guard shown is from here:

Edit 22/08/23 - Added a cap to go over any unused tips, in case you just want to dry just one or two bottles. Not needed as there's plenty of airflow with the fan I'm using, but may be helpful for others using low flow fans.
