Rectangular Tray

This coaster is a practical, yet minimalist kitchen tool that elegantly combines functionality and order – ideal for 3D printing.

It consists of a flat, rectangular base plate with a slightly raised edge. This edge serves several purposes: It prevents spice jars from slipping, catches crumbs or spice residues, and ensures that the work surface remains clean. The surface is kept even, so that various containers – from spice grinders to glass shakers to small bags – can stand stably on it.

Thanks to its compact design, the coaster can be placed flexibly, for example next to the stove or on the countertop. Especially when cooking with multiple spices, it saves time because everything is readily available in one place. At the same time, it makes tidying up easier: instead of moving several individual containers, you can simply lift the entire coaster.

The design is particularly interesting for 3D printing:

Easy to print: No complex overhangs, clean geometry
Practical use: Immediately usable in everyday life, not just a “decoration piece”

Optionally, the design could be extended, for example with:

non-slip feet (rubber inserts or texture)
