Minimalist and practical kitchen knife storage rack, no supports, no metal parts needed

To achieve greater openness, I deliberately separated the middle section from the top and bottom ends, so you can adjust the Z-height of the middle section to best suit your kitchen, or scale the entire model.

With appropriate tolerances, this model can be assembled without glue with no major issues. However, I still recommend gluing the top and middle sections together, while leaving the bottom unglued. The solid bottom can catch drips from knives, making it easy to clean. Since the bottom is made of plastic, it will inevitably be a bit slippery, so you can attach non-slip pads for added safety.

The knife slots are designed with some reinforcement ribs to prevent PLA from deforming under the heavy pressure of knives. The right-angle triangle design is adopted to accommodate the shape of Chinese kitchen knives while saving desktop space. Of course, you can also print two to form a larger square or right-angle triangle.

An opening is set at the right-angle position, where scissors or other irregularly shaped knives can be placed.

Printing requires no supports, and every inch of your material will be perfectly utilized.
