As the main workforce doing most dish washing at home, keeping the sponge holder clean and dry has been a tedious job. Every now and then, I have to pour out accumulated drips and reach into the small and awkward corners inside the sponge holder to clean up the gunk.
To make this job easier, I decided to design and make my better sponge holder:
– Well drained to keep everything dry
– Can be disassembled to allow deep cleaning
– Can hold multiple sponges for different purposes (cooked, raw, wok…)
– Aesthetic looking is important
So here are some renderings of the design. I’m so happy with it already even before I start printing it. I also rendered a version with transparent acrylic.
Below is a short animation to illustrate how to disassemble for cleaning and to reveal the internal slope for draining the drips.

I’ll be sharing the STL file shortly on my Thingiverse page. https://www.thingiverse.com/imbalence/designs
