Razor Disposal Box

thingiverse

Update: I successfully integrated my M3 bolts into the design. Additionally, I created a protective cover for the blade entry point to enhance overall safety. I recently filled up my purchased razor blade disposal case for double-edged razors and didn't want to spend $5 on another one, so I designed my own version at a fraction of the cost. Since there wasn't a suitable pre-existing model available on Thingiverse, I created my own design. There was one model available, but it came as a single part requiring support and had no mechanism for removing the support within the model. To avoid this issue, my design comes in two parts. This eliminates the need for support during printing, saving valuable 3D filament and minimizing plastic waste. The only additional equipment required for construction are two M2 x 12 mm screws. Although I have four screw holes on top, using just two screws provides a secure closure. I used a horizontal-based razor insertion to maximize storage capacity. In contrast, my original purchased case used a vertical design, which limited space when it was full and posed a safety hazard if a user tried to use the last bit of available space.
