Singular Toothbrush Holder

After someone brushes their teeth, the toothbrush is either laid on the counter top or in a container with multiple other toothbrushes if there are other people. In either situation, it is unsanitary as toothbrushes touch each other or touch the counter top. As the toothbrushes dry, water, saliva, and toothpaste run down the toothbrush into the bottom of the container. The mixture solidifies at the bottom of the container creating a mess. With the single toothbrush holder, toothbrushes will be separate and the drain at the bottom allows for a quick clean up. The stand is compact allowing for it to be easily moved around from the counter, to inside a cabinet, or even packed away to be used during travel. The barrel of the holder can fit any toothbrush creating a universal fit. At the bottom of the barrel, there are three holes, allowing for liquids to drain out the bottom. All you need for clean up is to wipe the spot where the holder was sitting. The three legs on the bottom of the barrel make the holder stable so the toothbrush will not tip over. The design of the single toothbrush holder is unique compared to the regular toothbrush holder. With the single barrel, it will maximize cleanliness and sanitary needs. When using FDM 3D printing with PLA filament, it leads to creating a cost effective prototype allowing to easily create a solution.Paige Beland Grand Haven High School Teacher: Jeremy Case
