I own and regularly use a small Philips travel shaver, which I keep in my toiletry bag when travelling. The shaving head is protected by a small plastic cap, but unfortunately the retaining clips eventually broke off.
I found replacement caps online for only a small price, but the shipping costs, import duties, and handling fees were several times higher than the actual product price.
So I decided to do what every maker would do: model and print a replacement myself.
I tested several materials:
PLA and PETG versions worked well, but were slightly too rigid, making the cap a bit difficult to remove. With use, this will probably improve as the locking ridge wears in slightly.
I also printed a version in TPU 53D with 50% infill. The first attempt turned out to be too flexible, so I made a few small design modifications.
The improved TPU version is now the perfect match: CapFlex.
As always:
If you like my design, please give it a heart ❤
If you print it, I’d love to see your experiences and photos
And if you have any questions, just ask 🙂
