Pot Scrapers

My Mum asked me to make these for her. She wanted a copy of what she has been using and I have used the same kind as well. But I have always found them a little frustratingly small and slippery. So I made a better one (or two)…

In my opinion, these are just a better design for a pot scraper than the commercially made ones I have used.

I have made it bigger so you can grab hold of it, and longer so that you can press it into your hand and apply real pressure for cleaning. The commercially made ones rely too much on finger strength (in my opinion). It has more texture to help improve grip as well. And, I have made a stand for it so it is not getting lost in the cupboard under our sink.

I did make a smaller one just in case someone does not like the large one but I really think the larger one makes more sense. Even the fact that it has a long side gives you the ability to make wider swaths when needed.

I have also included a simple stand, so you have somewhere to put the scraper when not in use.

Printing

Functional designs (such as this one) generally require more strength than non-functional designs and more strength than the typical default slicer settings provide, so please review your slicer settings carefully.

I definitely recommend printing this in PETG for strength and durability.

This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.2mm layer height and the following settings:

  • Material: PETG
  • Wall Line Count = 4 ( 4 x 0.4mm = 1.6mm walls )
  • Top and Bottom Layer Count = 5 ( 5 x 0.2mm = 1.0mm top and bottom )
  • Infill = 100%
  • Support = None required
  • Brim = NO
  • Print Orientation: As per STL files

Assembly Notes

No assembly or post-print processing is required.

Hi Mum! Thank you.

Where to Get My STL Files

Thangs.com

I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.

Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback

My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.

I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.

I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.
