thingiverse

Have you ever frantically searched for a knife, grabbing several before finally getting your hands on the one you're after? Have you ever stopped to think about just how spotless your knife block really is? And have you ever gotten fed up with how bulky and heavy your knife block is, taking up precious space in your kitchen? Well, no longer! This fully washable knife rack boasts a crystal-clear view of all your knives, giving you an unobstructed visual inspection. Its slender design allows it to stand upright on your countertop, occupying hardly any space, even angling slightly forward to accommodate your unique kitchen setup. It can be wall-mounted or nestled under a cabinet for a more streamlined appearance. When mounted, things like accessories or cleaning supplies can be hung from the bottom - an idea that hasn't yet been implemented. This rack can securely hold six knives: four 27-millimeter wide cutlery and two 37-millimeter wide knives. Thinner knives measuring up to three millimeters in thickness are perfect for this rack, while larger knives, like those in premium sets, might be a bit too bulky. However, when placed under a cabinet, more utensils or items can be stacked on top of it, essentially transforming the space into a mini shelf. Cleaning is easy as can be, and determining when to give your rack a good washing becomes almost instinctive. One innovative feature is its Dual lock mechanism - detailed in the linked instructions. This reliable system makes it simple to reposition your knife block without risking wear and tear like double-sided tape might cause. Just print this out and bid farewell to knife-block-induced frustration! Print Now, no more complaining about cluttered countertop space! Instructions: Print Don't rely on supports! Notice some roughness in the printed design - those are remnants from supports that often remain stubbornly stuck in place. If you do have issues removing these supports, it's not uncommon for them to be a bit tricky. Some might require the aid of a rotary tool to carefully dislodge. To prevent any mishaps or clogging during printing: Use soluble supports if available - they're worth investing in! If necessary, detach raft Removing supports isn't strictly essential, but doing so can enhance aesthetic appeal and facilitate effortless cleaning. Consider taking this step before proceeding with attachment of Dual Lock strips. Attach Dual lock strips Firstly, procure 1/2 inch (12mm) wide Dual lock fasteners - a crucial element for optimal performance! Be aware that even wider fasteners are available up to 18 millimeters, yet these would impede with rear support accessibility. Upon acquisition, position Dual Locks evenly on the rack's widest sections and adhere to identical spacing on both walls or beneath cabinetry surfaces. This ensures secure and adaptable positioning of your knife block anywhere you need it. Following this crucial step: Nothing further is required! Your print-ready design is complete and ready for mounting.
