This simple toothbrush stand was designed specifically to fit the Quip toothbrush and has a hole for a suction cup at the bottom. The suction cup I used measures 30mm in diameter, has a 6mm wide stem, an 8.5mm wide end, and the stem is 9.5mm high. Modify as needed for the suction cups you can find, or use the ones I bought off Amazon. The toothbrush stand leans back slightly, and has subtle curves that are both decorative and functional when you need to clean the stand. As always, use a little water on the counter to help the suction cup seal better.
The model displayed in pictures was printed using .16mm layer height, but .2mm is just fine. This requires minimal supports (see below, or use the .3mf file), and prints faster if you have more of them on the build plate due to minimum layer times.
Support settings:
- Use manual supports only. Do not use automatic supports as they might not be possible to remove from where the suction cup stem goes!
- I used snug supports with no issues
- I painted supports only on the underside, below 2mm, and only a little around the hole. Make sure you don't paint any further inside the print or you may end up with supports that are impossible to remove (see screenshot)
