Updated Ultimate Travel Soap Dish -Three Sizes!
thingiverse
I travel extensively, gathering a collection of miniature hotel soaps over the years with the intention of using them while camping. The commercial soap dishes are oversized and take up unnecessary space considering the size of the soap. None of the available designs on Thingiverse met my requirements for a simple way to drain water from the dish. Therefore, I created the "Ultimate Travel Soap Dish". Update ---------- After using the holes, I found they clog after about 3-4 days of continuous use. Since I'm creating the "Ultimate Travel Soap Dish", this was unacceptable. To address this issue, I've added a new design feature - a notch. If it's good enough for my phone, it's certainly sufficient for my soap dish. Partial top placement exposes the notch, allowing water to drain without clogging. Sizing ------- I've designed three sizes: **Small:** Ideal for a complementary hotel soap. It's designed to fit most of the soaps found in Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton properties. **Mid-Sized:** Can hold two small soaps stacked. Scaling up slightly will allow it to hold full-size soaps as well. **Full:** Holds a full bar of soap. Draining --------- All three sizes include drain holes or a notch. To drain, place the cover partially on, ensuring the notch is exposed and not blocking the holes. Once the water is drained, close fully for a tight fit. Printing -------- I recommend using .3mm layer heights. The soap dish relies on friction to hold the top in place. The uploaded lids are exactly .6mm larger than the bottom. Scale the cover in the XY direction as necessary to produce a tight fit. Bonus Points ------------- Bonus points go to the first person who can identify which hotel supplies Zest soap bars. Leave your guess in the comments. Double Bonus Points ------------------- Double bonus points will be awarded to anyone who can correctly identify which hotel supplies round soaps.
