Customizable Shower Cubby Drain Tray by kroyster

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a customizable shower cubby tray to let soap bars drain, and to allow better ventilation behind shampoo bottles. To create your custom STL file for printing, edit the downloadable .scad file in OpenSCAD, or click the "Open in Customizer" link on this page to customize. If your cubby is larger than your printer's bed, you can print two or more parts to fit your cubby.
You can specify the width and depth of your shower cubby:
The depth does NOT include the radius of the rounded nose, so the actual tray will extend an additional height/2 beyond the depth you specify.
You can specify a depth that is approximately 15% more than the actual depth of your cubby and still have the front feet within the cubby. This will extend the shelf outward beyond the cubby's front edge, which might be useful to keep large shampoo bottles from sliding out to crash to your shower floor (as long as you don't extend it so far that you constantly bump the tray).
You can also adjust the height and thickness of each main "beam".
I find that a height of 10mm and a thickness of 2mm works well.
Note that height is of the main (front to back) beams only. Optional feet, tails, and lips (see below) will add to the overall tray height.
Finally, you can optionally add feet, a "tail", and a "lip" to your cubby tray.
Feet are enabled by default. They will raise the overall tray off the cubby floor by height/2 to aid in drainage and ventilation underneath the tray.
Tails are disabled by default. They are height/2 tall in the back. They help keep shampoo bottles slightly forward from the rear cubby wall to aid in ventilation, but you loose a little useable depth in the process.
Lips are disabled by default. They are height/4 tall on the front edge. They help keep shampoo bottles from slipping off the front edge and crashing to the floor, but you loose a little useable depth in the process.
