How to Make a Dorm Toothbrush Stand

I designed a holder for my toothbrush and toothpaste for in my dorm, and today you will learn too!

I am currently a first-year student at Clemson University and have used the skills I learned here on campus to complete this project.

Supplies

You will need: Fusion360, a 3D printer, a computer, and Cura

Step 1:

your first step is to open Fusion360 and start a sketch on the plane shown above.

Step 2:

Next you will want to make a shape using 3 rectangles similar to this. Adjust the middle distance to fit over what you want to hold your toothbrush.

Step 3:

The next step is to extrude the sketch into a 3D shape by 100 mm!

Step 4:

next, we will make a sketch along the top of the upside-down U shape. This will be the holder for the toothbrush.

Step 5:

next we will extrude the outside of the square to make a hole for our toothbrush

Step 6:

we will make a sketch on the bottom of the part we just extruded. this will be where we design the support for the brush to not fall through.

Step 7:

we will make a cross in the middle of the hole. match the dimensions to the photo.

Step 8:

we will extrude this shape upwards to make the bottom of the brush holder flat.

Step 9:

next, we will make a sketch on the side of the box for our toothbrush. this will be where the back of the toothpaste tube will go.

Step 10:

extrude the shape we just built to be flush with the edge of the holder.

Step 11:

we will now make a sketch on the new face we extruded.

Step 12:

make a sketch to match the photo. This will be cut and will support the back of your toothpaste tube.

Step 13:

with the sketch just made perform an extrude cut and remove the bottom of the circle to allow your toothpaste to hang there.

Step 14:

Now you have done all of the steps. perform any custom changes you wish.
