Drip Guard - Spoon Holder

Inspired by my annoyance with spills and splatters during cooking, coupled with the challenge of finding a convenient spot for the cooking spoon without creating a mess, I crafted this spoon holder. Specifically designed to transform your kitchen into a symphony of efficiency and elegance!

This holder isn't just about practicality; it's a statement piece that effortlessly marries functionality and flair. Its sleek design not only cradles your favorite cooking spoons but also adds a touch of sophistication to your culinary haven.

Engineered with a spherical inlay, this culinary companion ensures that any spills or drips are gracefully contained, making cleanup a swift and stress-free affair.

Hint: Place it next to your coffee machine and place used spoons inside for re-use. 

Print settings

Supports and Brim are not required.

Add some rubber feet at the base to prevent sliding  

Optional Print Settings

To provide more weight to the base I also added a “Height range Modifier” (Start Hight  “0mm”, Stop Height “20mm” at 0.2 layer hight in Prusa Slicer. I then added an Infill Density of 100% (you can choose whatever infill density you prefer) with a Rectilinear fill pattern:

HINT: Add some rubber feet to the base to prevent slipping.  

Thx & Enjoy!
