Shaving Brush Razor and Soap Holder

thingiverse

**UPDATE:** I've revised the design to bring back the small spikes in the bottom of the soapdish that were lost when increasing its thickness. The new .scad, .stl, and .gcode files now reflect this change. This shaving stand is designed to keep your gear organized on the counter instead of scattered everywhere. It features a stand that can hold an Escali brush and a Preserve razor, along with a soapdish that will securely hold a puck of shaving soap. To make it more compact, I've made the stand nestle into the top of the soapdish. You also have the option to print the brush / razor holder as a wall bracket. The key to making this stand work correctly lies in achieving a low center of gravity so that it doesn't move around when you pull out the brush. To accomplish this, I used Cura's Support Blocker feature to block off the stand base and bottom of the neck. Then, I set the per-block infill for these areas to 100%, while leaving the rest of the stand at 20% infill. This results in a nicely bottom-heavy stand when printing with PLA. Similarly, to make the nestling of stand and soapdish stable, I used 100% infill to print a heavy soapdish that keeps its center of gravity low for the entire set. I also sliced the soapdish using Cura's "fuzzy skin" feature, making it easier to grip when your hands are wet. I've included gcode that captures these print settings and uses a layer height of 0.28mm (following the "magic number" of 0.4mm increments for my printer's axis steppers). This is set up for a Creality Ender 3, which has a slightly larger print bed than an older Prusa clone, so your results may vary.
