Summary
Hello,
I recently printed a nice soap dish with a hexagonal pattern:

Credits to MrWhat.
Does the job, I'm very pleased with its practicality. Obviously, after planting it there on the sink my bird noticed our toothbrush cup is out of place. I wasn't able to find anything similar so I decided to make one myself. The hex pattern is a close resemblance, same dimensions to the soap dish. Its quite sturdy too. It is a nice match to MrWhat design, they work well together.
Happy printing folks!

Notes:
I'd love to have an enclosure to keep the temperature right, there was quite a lot of wringing on the edges of the hexes, I thought I may need to cancel the print after a while but it turned out okay, I am happy with the quality (check the photos).
BTW, my printer model is not listed I just selected Chiron, but I am a happy owner of a Mega Pro with a laser attachment.
Post-Printing

Yeah, here's UK for ya, two separate taps, I've no idea why...

How I Designed This
The hardest bit as to get the hex pattern right, fortunately there are some online calculator tools (cylinder circumference/ how many elements could fit, I had a weird value of 14.467 degrees or something to close it up nicely). Dig away, don't give up.
