Simple Tea draining Tray

thingiverse

I recently acquired a small, Chinese tea set and while researching its proper use, I discovered an essential piece was missing. Rather than searching for a small tea tray, which wouldn't be practical given their limited availability in European shops, I sat down and designed my own one. This custom Tea Tray provides approximately 15x15 centimeters (or 6x6 inches) of surface area and holds roughly 300ml, sufficient to fill and empty my Gaiwan three times. In my case, this capacity allows for warming and a tea rinse without any issues. If you prefer your tray to hold more, simply upscale the bottom in the Z-direction or make everything larger. Both components can be printed directly on the bed with no support or raft needed, assuming your bed is large enough.
