Drainer LP – Low Profile Pop-Open Drain Strainer Version 2.0

This is a low-profile (25mm high) version of the Drainer 2.0.

The original Pop Open Drain Strainer was a game changer — and now it's even better. Introducing Drainer LP – Version 2.0, the upgraded print-in-place sink strainer designed for durability, improved performance, and one-handed ease. Trap food scraps while keeping your hands clean, and empty it with a single press.

I have included two versions. The two have different strainer designs in the floor (bottom) of the Drainer. Please see the included image. A few people have indicated that the original hex bottom design works better for some foods.

Key Features: - One-press pop-open trap door for mess-free emptying - New integrated lift handle keeps the strainer securely closed during lifting - Raised interior ribs help food scraps release more easily - Improved drainage grid lets water flow while catching the mess - Thicker wall sections for extra strength and longer life - Print-in-place hinge + support system – no assembly required

This version is optimized for ABS, which resists hot sink water better than PLA or PETG. It includes built-in support for the trap mechanism that break free during post-print setup.

Post-Printing Setup: After printing: Gently defuse the built-in hinge supports by prying apart the marked faces. Press and rotate the Drainer to release the trap. Remove the temporary print support (shown in orange in diagrams). You're ready to strain and dump like a pro.

Dimensions Outer Diameter: 3-1/4" (83mm) Height: 1" (25 mm) Designed to fit many standard kitchen sink drains

Notes: This is a single-piece, support-integrated model – no hardware, no adhesives. For best results and heat resistance, print in ABS. Designed for strength and long-term daily use in the kitchen. Compatible with common sink openings; check fit before use if your drain is non-standard.

Revisions and Updates I occasionally update and revise my designs. When I do, I’ll document the changes here. Check back periodically for the latest revision notes or if you’re experiencing any issues with a model. Please email me at [email protected] if you would like me to make a revision or have comments about this design.

20250907: I have uploaded a new version of the hex bottom design which corrects two issues with it.

20251004: I have uploaded new versions of both models. The new versions have improved geometry that will make them print better with less overhang. And, I have removed some of the print support to help them open up after printing more easily. I have added an instructional video as well on how to open them after printing.

20251007: Update both the guided and hex bottom versions with improved geometry and smaller overhangs.
