Oh wow, thanks for this! I’m a veteran and $20 a year is awesome! I do the same, mostly just making things around the house. I don’t really upload them though, because most things I make are super custom to my needs.

The prismatic option when converting meshes is the big one for me. I find I am modifying downloaded files so often.
I thought they got rid of that tier. Might have to try it out if it’s still available.
I don’t think so. I’m on the education license as well.
Yeah, I’ve done some editing in FreeCAD, but I’m lost at the rest.
Very true, and the reason I went with Fusion in the first place. It’s easy to pick up while still being fully featured.
The photos help for me, but I mostly just try to make as many modifications as I can for each iteration. And I print 1mm ‘base’ prints until I’m satisfied it’s ready for the final.
Same, it really depends on what I’m making, I guess. Bigger things I need to fit in/around stuff I tend to take photos. But I always do a bunch of test prints anyway.

Here you go. Let me know if you have any issues or questions. I try to use sketches and organize, but I’m not great at it yet, lol.
Yep, they are super nice and easy to install, especially if you have a hole already there. I would have removed the soap dispenser and used that if the extra hole wasn’t there already.
Post if you do. Love seeing interesting household prints. If you’re curious, how I designed it, I took an overhead photo and brought that into Fusion360. Scaled it to proper size and then just designed on top of the canvas. Did the same thing with a silverware organizer I made a while back. Took a few test prints (just a 1mm base with the holes cut out). I had to make a few fine adjustments, but it fits perfectly now.
Thanks. Epoxy definitely wouldn’t hurt, but I don’t find it necessary. The old one, printed in PLA, I used about a year with no issues.
Thank you!
whoa, relevant username!
This one is new, but I had a small one that just held the sponges that I had been using for about a year with no issue. It was a separate grate and base design though.
Thanks. A great majority of my prints are for stuff around the house that isn’t really necessary, but nice to have, haha.
Haha, yeah the thing on the left is a soap dispenser but I’ve never used it. And I added the glass rinser.
Welded with a soldering iron.
I made it in Fusion360. Can send you the file if you want.
Nice, someone commented veteran pricing that’s $20 a year, which I qualify for, so definitely going to try it out. Thanks!
