3D printing a thing

Are you hoping to impress someone with 3D printing, or do you have another reason for not just spending £10 on a replacement?

Nah, it's got 8 small compartments.

We'd looked at a replacement a few weeks ago, found an original on Amazon and it was £25 - £30, which made me rather vexed. I wanted a cheaper alternative, but the cheaper non-original ones didn't have the deep grooves which allow it to fit over the racks. The product link's here.





I now see that the current prices are somewhat more appealing.  :-$


If Ant or Throb are willing to make a mesh insert with postage for less than £9.20, then I'd much rather send the cash their way than Amazons (or a third party). :)

I believe Ant is preoccupied with 3d-printing his mars mission vehicle. And frankly, it sounds easier.

This is our dishwasher. It costs $3:

Those are good, if you you don't have non-stick pots and scorch the shit of of everything.

The white top ones are good for non-stick, I think.

The ones that come in packages labelled safe for non-stick are good for non-stick.

In the UK, some of those are yellow sponge with white pads. Other non-stick safe colours are available.

I scorch the shit out of non-stick pots, at which point they are transformed into oui-stick pots

do you not just use only the sponge side on the non-stick pots? This has been a reliable technique for me for years.

I find that insipid foam is useless. Cellulose sponge is better, brush is best (cause it scrubs better and your hand's not touching icky stuff).
