Loved EvilTeach's watermelon tray/drain, but my favorite container was larger than my print bed! It also had rounded corners and Evil's rectangular design left a hole for melon bits to fall through.
This remix includes the following changes: (all optional, set to zero and matches EvilTeach's)
rounded corners: better fits the shape of my container
insetting support posts: the edge of my container is also rounded, moves post to flat area
inner support posts: my tray was too big and saggy
splitting output: My tray was too big for my printer. This allows X/Y (or both) splitting.
Note: To split, use the values "0.5" and "-0.5". (customizer doesn't tell you!)
If you split X/Y, you can probably use the same print for both sides, but feel free to generate both. I attempted to join mine using a torch, but the seam wasn't strong enough and separated. With the excellent fit and extra support posts, two sections doesn't seem to be a problem.
You're not expected to print the attached STL, but it gives a nice picture. Use OpenSCAD or the customizer to make an STL for your container.
This was a long print about 3.5 hours per side.
