Customizable Geodesic Kitchen Sink Drain Strainer

If you find this useful, consider buying me a cup of coffee! Support my work by donating US$1.00. This project was inspired by another great design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1858532 However, I noticed two problems with this original design; first, one must choose between printing it in two parts or using supports. Second, the hole on the screen has varying sizes. I wanted something that could be printed as a single piece and have holes of specific sizes. The solution was to create a geodesic dome. An STL file is available for a sink with 50mm diameter, 16mm depth, a border of 15mm, and holes of 4mm. However, you can easily create your own version with any desired diameter and hole size. If you make one, please let me know by posting it here! Update 2020-05-02 - As requested, I added a handle to the strainer. The default is for no handle, so if you want one, you must change the customizer to 'yes'. Update 2020-05-18 - I saw a work by Simon Kong Win Chang who put tabs on his strainer. I liked the idea and included it in the customizer. https://www.thingiverse.com/SkullKill/about https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4362313
