Cutest Travel Holders

thingiverse

You know when you go on holiday and your partner empties out their entire washbag all over the sink and you think, "great, now where do I put my toothbrush?" You know when you go on holiday and you happily grab the little complimentary bottles of showergel and shampoo, then you go in the shower and there's nowhere to put them except on the shower floor so when you bend over to pick them up your butt presses against the cold glass and you get a water in your ear? Well I like to think that many marriages could be saved with the appropriate use of a 3D printer. In this kit you get: 1. The smallest, cutest little travel toothbrush holder in the world ever 1. A hook to hang things on (a watch, a flannel, or maybe a towel) 1. A micro shelf for toothpaste or small travel bottles. The shelf is also the lid! :) 1. A box to keep it all in! How small is it? The box is just 100mm x 26mm x 28mm and there is plenty of room for the above and more. Want three hooks and two brush holders? No problem. Pack it as much as you want, though I prefer not to spend too much time playing Tetris. It uses 20mm suction cups, which I got in a pack of 20 from Amazon and they're brilliant. They stick to bathroom mirrors, shower doors or bathroom tiles (as long as they're shiny). Surprisingly strong. The design uses one standard "tab" which holds the sucker firm, and can then be used with the hook, brush holder and shelf. This enables everything to fold flat (great for travel), but it also means the layer direction is maximised for strength, and it's all super easy to print with no supports. The lid is fairly loose fitting, because not all printers are setup with the same precision and tolerances are a pain. So, no fancy locking mechanisms, I keep it simple with a rubber band! Or those little ponytail rings women leave around the house work great too... then you can say you're using it so she has a spare on holiday for when she loses the 20 she took with her. :D
