Useful 3D Prints: Bathroom
π Overview
A bathroom is full of small things worth 3D printing: a toothpaste squeezer, a soap dish, a comb, a toothbrush holder, a travel case - this tutorial makes five of them, all tested and in daily use, so you can simply download the STLs and print.
Great if you have just bought a 3D printer and want to make useful things quickly; the author also shares the printer, slicer, and filament settings he uses.
π§° What you need
- 3D printer + PLA/PETG filament
- Slicer software (the author shares his settings)
- STL files for each project (provided for download)
π§ Step by step
Printer and software setup
The author shares the printer, slicer, and filament settings he uses
If you want prints that survive damp conditions long term, use PETG
Toothpaste squeezer
Clip it onto the end of the tube and roll to push the paste forward
The clip is shaped to grip the tube - tested after printing
Soap dish
Drainage holes keep the soap dry and stop water pooling on the counter
Add optional non-slip feet
Comb
Mind the tooth spacing and fillets when printing a comb so it does not scratch your scalp
PP or PETG handles hot water better
Toothbrush holder
Wall-mounted or freestanding, with slots for the whole family
Drainage holes stop the brushes sitting in water and going mouldy
Toothbrush case
A travel case with an internal holder for the brush
The lid uses a hinge or snap fit - test it after printing
Wrap-up and FAQ
The author collects the print settings and common questions
Bathrooms are damp, so keep plastic parts clean and mould-free
π‘ Tips
- Bathroom items meet water constantly; choose PETG, since PLA deforms in hot water
- For anything touching food or your mouth, food-grade silicone or PP is the safer choice
- Check in the slicer whether the part will be watertight and whether layers can leak
