Regular & Interdental Toothbrush Holder

thingiverse

This toothbrush holder accommodates both standard and interdental toothbrushes, currently holding up to 5 regular and 10 interdental ones. Inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9056, it features elastic horizontal clips for regular brushes. Wall-mounted with a single 3mm woodscrew, the holder has 8mm holes for interdental toothbrush stems (7 to 7.5mm). Regular toothbrushes fit, albeit some loosely. A suggested improvement is adding two mounting holes, while future versions may include 15-20 slots for interdental brushes. Photos display the previous version with shorter interdental slots and a screwdriver hole gap. Updated files resolve this issue with taller cylinders. The latest version has three rows of interdental holders and nine spots for regular toothbrushes, plus a rear protrusion for tile spacing. An update in 2014 improved clip connection and rear protrusion design. Printed on Prusa i3 using FormFutura white 3mm ABS filament, the holder requires 2 perimeters, 2 top and bottom layers, 0.15mm layer height, and 20% infill. Improved print quality with a well-tuned heated bed and post-printing acetone vapor treatment for better layer connection and glossy finish.
