Dish dryer

A parametric dish dryer for the kitchen.

The dryer consists of four elements:

1. A base holding the connections to the next base and the pins
2. A short connection for the first and last base to connec to the next or previous base.
3. A long connection for connecting the bases which each other
4. The vertical pin.

A complete dryer, depending on the number n of slots requires the following parts:

1. Always required are two short struts and two pins without strut
2. n + 1 * base struts
3. n - 1 * long struts
4. n * 2 pins with strut

The OpenSCAD configurator offers the possibility to change all parameters of the dryer, but no checks are done. It is possible to set the hole diameter to values larger than the width of the struts or the inner diameter of the holes to lager values than the outer diameter. It is the responsibility of the users to enter reasonable values.

If none of the parts is selected in the configurator, all five parts are printed:

The dish dryer design was inspired by an accordion toast stand:
