The Refillable Dishwasher Tablet

thingiverse

Run out of dishwasher tablets? Don't try using regular dishwashing liquid in your dishwasher instead. You'll end up with a lot of foam overflowing the dishwasher, causing damage as the pumps run dry. This clever capsule is designed to let you use inexpensive dishwashing liquid without excessive foam forming. First, apply some dishwashing liquid to the capsule, then tighten the lid and insert it into the tablet slot of your dishwasher. The unique leakiness of the 3D-printed material will dose out just the right amount of dishwashing liquid, preventing too much foam from building up. I made a great capsule with these specific settings, but you may need to adjust them to get the perfect leakiness for your printer and print material. Remember, use this at your own risk! A faulty capsule might still cause foamy problems.
