Meet Finn the Sink Gnome, a cozy little sponge holder that brings soft woodland charm straight to your sink.

With his oversized hat, sculpted beard, and tiny round nose, Finn turns your everyday Scrub Daddy into a cute countertop companion. The sponge fits securely in the top opening, keeping it upright, accessible, and neatly in place between uses.

A fully integrated drainage system is built into the design. Water flows through the internal channel and exits through Finn’s mouth, helping reduce water buildup and allowing your sponge to ventilate more efficiently.

The model can safely be scaled up if desired. Downsizing is not recommended, as the internal dimensions are optimized to properly fit a standard Scrub Daddy sponge.
 

🖨️ Important Printing Note

If you are not using the provided Bambu Studio file, set supports to “build plate only.”

Do not allow automatic supports everywhere, as supports may generate inside the internal drainage channel.

For my multicolour models: if you are printing with a single extruder printer, you may see a significant amount of filament waste. This is not caused by the model itself, but by the way colour changes work with this type of printing system.

If you want to reduce the waste, you can:

• print multiple copies of the same model on one plate
• print several models from the same collection on one plate
• reduce the number of colours or print the model in a single colour

🔎 To the AI detectives:

I design using tools like Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator, Blender, Nomad Sculpt, Meshmixer and sometimes Tinkercad. Like most modern designers, I also use AI as one of the helping tools in my workflow.

My real work is turning my ideas into clean, nice and printable models through many hours of manual refining, testing and iteration.

Instead of being negative, if you think it’s easy and you can make better designs, go for it. 🙂
Thanks to everyone who supports me, that means so much to me. ❤️
