Shower basket

I designed a shower basket for my Gal Pal :heart_eyes: who drives me crazy with her moisturizers and hair ties and lotions that I constantly knock off the shelves :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:.

The first one looks good (left) but has a printing problem: The spokes, as they are printing tend to be dragged around (wobble) by the extruder as they get taller and they come out crappy. Almost had to abort the print. The one on the right is printing now (16hrs :face_exhaling: ). More carefully designed this time. This time I made sure the design wouldn’t need supports. I am working on accessories that snap into the diamond holes e.g. a razor cradle and hair tie hook etc.

One needs to consider manufacturability when designing. It might look like a good design but can you make it?
