Color Marker Rings for Philips Sonicare Toothbrush

thingiverse

Philips Sonicare toothbrushes, along with their cheaper third-party counterparts, come in a limited palette of four colors for their marker rings. For families of five or more members, identifying each family member's toothbrush head requires some creative thinking. In the past, I used 6mm Brother labels to achieve this. This clip allows users to differentiate between their family's Sonicare brushes using color-coded tag rings. Please note that the rings were printed with standard PLA instead of flexible material. To attach the ring, place it on a flat surface and press the brush head into it, applying some pressure for a secure fit. The ring can be removed and reused when the brush wears down. A v3 file is included in the design, featuring additional ridges on the inside of the ring, similar to the original marker rings. However, printing with elastic filament would be necessary to achieve this design. I have not experimented with this option yet. The OpenSCAD code has been provided for users to remix and improve upon it. Feedback is essential in the 3D printing community; please share your experiences and modifications when you create a clip based on this design.
