<p>Tired of having the ends of your toothbrushs get nasty at the bottom of a cup? Look no further. This simple toothbrush holder will keep your toothbrush up and out of swill filled cups.</p><p><strong>Prints in three pieces:</strong></p><ol><li>Head (Holds brush)</li><li>Neck (Extends head up above the…)</li><li>Foot (The base of the toothbrush stand)</li></ol><p><strong>Printing Help:</strong></p><ul><li>Supports: None</li><li>Infill: All parts are thin so 0-20%. For heavy toothbrushes, higher infill density suggested for foot.</li><li>Orientation:&nbsp;<ul><li>Head - Spikes facing up</li><li>Neck - with top of ‘V’ facing up</li><li>Foot - Hole facing up</li></ul></li><li>Plastic: PLA works just fine, but if you want, more hygienic plastics might be healthier</li></ul><p><strong>Assembly:</strong></p><p>Glue may or may not be required depending on the accuracy of your printer. If your printer is well calibrated, you may need glue since parts will fit together too well. Otherwise friction fits will work.</p><ol><li>Insert head onto the neck so that the neck is flush with the top of the neck.</li><li>Insert head/neck assembly into foot.</li><li>Hang toothbrush on head after brushing!</li></ol><p><strong>Hints:</strong></p><ul><li>The neck has a tendency to come up at the ends since it is so long. Glue may be required, at least at the tips to hold it to the build plate during printing.</li><li>Brush your teeth twice a day.</li></ul>
