Self-draining soap dish with raised ribs

A bathroom soap dish that lets bar soap dry between uses. The bar sits on six 3 mm ribs spaced 8 mm apart above a sloped floor, water runs through 4 mm slots into a shallow catch tray below, and a 1.5 mm gap between the two parts lets air circulate. The dish is 110 by 80 mm with 2 mm walls and a 5 mm rounded rim. Both pieces print upright without supports. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.
Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer? We print this part and ship it to your door. See its priceUpdated

Example prompt

Design a two-part soap dish: a 110 x 80 mm rib tray with six 3 mm ribs 8 mm apart over a floor sloping 5 degrees toward 4 mm drain slots, sitting 1.5 mm above a catch tray 12 mm deep with 2 mm walls and a rounded rim.

This prompt comes with the ready-made model when you sign in, in case you want the AI to redesign it (3 credits a redesign); changing numbers in the viewer is free.

Fit notes

Artisan bars and hotel soaps are very different sizes, so a dish generated to your bar with a few millimetres of clearance drains better than a generic one. Describe the bar to SpeakCAD, preview the two-part dish in the browser, ask for a single-piece version or a slimmer shape, and download the STL when you like the look.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.

No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
