Printed a simple soap tray- it was just a plate printed vertically- 3mm thick with rounded edges.

Prusaslicer settings were 1.5mm fuzzy skin with 2mm connection points, spiral mode with zero bottom infil, and a 3mm brim for adhesion. (The brim is easy to remove, and the edge looks nicer with with no infill.)
100%extrusion width.

So much cheaper that the gunk accumulators I usually buy

oh yeah. I've been fooling around with the fuzzy skin setting because I never used it (curiosity can get me like that.). Dad asked for one to fit inside his little shower's nook-shelf-thing after seeing a lamp shade.... This was a test print that's finding use in my own shower.

fuzzy skin +spiral mode also found use for an aeroponic's basket for those not-quite-aeroponic's towers. they provided a better net basket for things that have smaller root structures, while still draining fully.
