Ultraviolet Germicidal sponge cleaner plus.

thingiverse

Human: You see, Ultraviolet Germicidal light can actually wipe out 98% of germs instantly, think about all those living microorganisms on your sponge! Now imagine you use that same sponge to clean your cutting board and knife - it's disgusting, isn't it? Simply remove the wand from its stand, wave it gently over the freshly cleaned cutting board and knife, then replace the wand on its stand and get ready to blast the sponge too. Instructions To create this UV-C lamp housing, you'll need a sturdy electric lamp holder with an easy-on/off switch right in the cord. I'm using a GTL3 Germicidal Tube Lamp - E17 Base - 10.5 Volt for around $8.00 and a reliable lamp socket and cord with switch from my local hardware store for about $12.00. This bulb runs on Class 2 power, which you'll find clearly marked. Update: 3/8/15 I've finally broken out the individual parts - some may need support, but I'm confident they'll hold up just fine. As it stands now, I haven't printed everything yet, but with the parts done, I can focus on the areas that might be tricky (like the base print). This project is still a work in progress! Update: 3/9/15 It turns out both side panels are identical, so I've split them into one file - this will save time and resources! The same goes for the posts - since only one needs support, it's more efficient to separate them like this. Update: 3/10.15 Luckily, my engineering skills are practically nonexistent (which is probably a good thing), but I did discover some minor flaws in the sides and base during testing. Don't worry, though - with rev2 out of the way, everything should work smoothly now. There's just one final piece left to print - after that, it'll all come together! Update: 3/14/15 After putting everything together and doing a test run, I found some flaws in my design and took care of them in the STL files, leaving the revised ones available for download
