Japanese Bath Cup – Onsen Style Handle Dipper

Bring a touch of Japanese onsen tradition into your home with this Japanese-style bath cup.

Designed with a faceted body and ergonomic handle, it’s perfect for scooping and pouring water in the bath or shower. Printed in PETG for water resistance and durability.

This design is inspired by the traditional wooden hinoki bath dippers used in Japanese culture, but reimagined in a minimalist geometric form for modern 3D printing.

Tested: I printed and used it under the shower — it holds water well without leaks. PETG is highly recommended for functional use. PLA+ works for decorative or light use.
