Ice Cube Tray Stackers

Ice Cube Tray Stackers

When the ice maker in our refrigerator died a while ago and the delivery time for replacement parts was quoted in weeks, not days, a Plan B was necessary so life could go on.  We bought a pair of ice cube trays at the local Dollar Tree for the princely sum of $1.25 - problem solved, we thought.

It turned out that a pair of trays had an unacceptably large footprint in a freezer with no designed-in spot for them.  If they could be stacked, they would only take half the space but since they were designed to nest together, that wasn't going to work.

This design is for a pair of spacers, custom fit to the Dollar Tree flavor of ice cube trays so they could be stacked without one settling into the other.  They worked out fine for the purpose.

It's a quick and easy print.  I used PLA, a 0.3 mm nozzle, a 0.15 mm layer height.  Infill doesn't really come into play since the piece is so thin.
