Drainer LP – Low Profile Pop-Open Drain Strainer Version 2.0

This model is restricted by licensing terms. 

This is a low-profile (25mm high) version of the Drainer 2.0.

The original Pop Open Drain Strainer was a game changer — and now it's even better. Introducing Drainer LP – Version 2.0, the upgraded print-in-place sink strainer designed for durability, improved performance, and one-handed ease. Trap food scraps while keeping your hands clean, and empty it with a single press.

I have included two versions. The two have different strainer designs in the floor (bottom) of the Drainer. Please see the included image. A few people have indicated that the original hex bottom design works better for some foods.

Key Features:

  • One-press pop-open trap door for mess-free emptying
  • New integrated lift handle keeps the strainer securely closed during lifting
  • Raised interior ribs help food scraps release more easily
  • Improved drainage grid lets water flow while catching the mess
  • Thicker wall sections for extra strength and longer life
  • Print-in-place hinge + support system – no assembly required

This version is optimized for ABS, which resists hot sink water better than PLA or PETG. It includes built-in support for the trap mechanism that break free during post-print setup.

Post-Printing Setup: After printing: Gently defuse the built-in hinge supports by prying apart the marked faces. Press and rotate the Drainer to release the trap. Remove the temporary print support (shown in orange in diagrams). You're ready to strain and dump like a pro.

Dimensions Outer Diameter: 3-1/4" (83mm) Height: 1" (25 mm) Designed to fit many standard kitchen sink drains

Notes: This is a single-piece, support-integrated model – no hardware, no adhesives. For best results and heat resistance, print in ABS. Designed for strength and long-term daily use in the kitchen. Compatible with common sink openings; check fit before use if your drain is non-standard.

Revisions and Updates I occasionally update and revise my designs. When I do, I’ll document the changes here. Check back periodically for the latest revision notes or if you’re experiencing any issues with a model. Please email me at logicalplanet3d@gmail.com if you would like me to make a revision or have comments about this design.

20250907: I have uploaded a new version of the hex bottom design which corrects two issues with it.

20251004: I have uploaded new versions of both models. The new versions have improved geometry that will make them print better with less overhang. And, I have removed some of the print support to help them open up after printing more easily. I have added an instructional video as well on how to open them after printing.

20251007: Update both the guided and hex bottom versions with improved geometry and smaller overhangs.

Looks amazing but for Blanco sink it is slightly too big and (I'm not quite experienced) my print is baked together.

This design is amazing! But sadly the sink I have is way smaller then this still. Would it be possible to adjust it and upload one that would be a max of 12cm high?

Thank you. I have tried but can’t currently get an6 shorter than this one. But I will keep searching for a solution.

Print it with abs following the instructions, but scaling it to 70 mm wide. In the scaled version, the bottom did not detach from the top. Also tried to print it in pls in two different printers, but did not print properly.

Hi Mario, thanks for your feedback. Yes, it is not scalable because it uses extremely small clearances. That is required to keep it tight. What height do you need? I can see if I can adapt it for you.

Mario C

Sorry for the long time to reply... The height is fine, but the diameter I need is 67.5mm. I scaled to this size and fits great, but, of course the bottom does not open, and the whole mechanism is locked. By the way, I used PLA HT Impact and after annealing had no issues with hot water.

ok, great to know about the PLA HT. Thank you for that. I will explore the smaller idameter but I have before, and I dont think I can pull it off. But I will have another go at it.

Thank you for you attention.

Thank you for the design. But I had a small issue. Wanted to print the hex version, but the bottom cover part is not level with the print table, so I had to print it with rafts due to that. That problem doesn't exist in the normal versions.

ok, I have uploaded new versions of both the low profile and regular hex bottom designs. Should be good now.

Oh man, thanks for letting me know. I must have uploaded the wrong file. I will check it and correct it. Much appreciated. I can’t fix it for about 12 hours or so from now. But will let you know when it is done.

I have tried to scale it down to 15 mm height without any other changes, after battling with the support for about 10 minutes I managed to remove it and it worked. The snapping mechanism that holds the bottom in place does not really work now but overall it works good enough I guess. Did you manage to make a lower-low profile version?
