Pop-Open Drain Strainer #throwback edition

Free again for a limited time as part of the Thangs 4-year anniversary "throwback" celebration.

Now with a pick-up knob for easier use. See the STL filenames to choose the type of your choice.

Pull this drain strainer out of your sink and hold it over the waste bin, squeeze the sides, and it pops open to drop out any trapped food scraps. Push it back together and drop it back into the drain. Touch-free disposal of your food scraps from the strainer.

I have designed this product in 2 heights to accommodate various sink drain heights. The lower profile design is approximately 22mm high and the other is approximately 30mm high.

This design is resistant to hot water that humans can cope with but of course, do not pour boiling water directly onto it. Use PETG and print with 100% infill.

100% printed - no hardware, fasteners, or adhesives required. No support required

Thank you pilbomags70 for the inspiration for this design!

How I print it: Material = I recommend PETG.

Nozzle = 0.4mm Layer height = 0.2mm Line width = 0.4mm Wall count = 4 (1.6mm) Infill = 100% Brim = Do not use brim (everywhere) as it could close up the gap between the outer and inner parts. Ironing = ON, to help produce a smooth finish that food scraps are less likely to stick to.
