This is a major remix, of a remix, of the original design from @Charleszard.

The purpose of this remix is to fix the issue with the slouching that eventually occurs with the friction fit of the AC plug in the original design. Because of the required geometry of the design, the weight of the toothbrush and charger creates a torque that eventually causes the mount to lean because the plug works just a little way out of the model's plug recess.

This model creates a captive plug cover that prevents the slouching or leaning over time.
A back plate has been created that attaches to the mount and encloses the plug.
Horizontal or vertical plug orientations are accommodated using the same body and selecting the appropriate back plate.

There are three different versions of this remix to allow you to pick the one that best meets your needs...

Design one: uses CNC Kitchen's M3 heat set inserts with M3x6mm machine screws to attach the back plate (cover photo).

Design two: uses #6 x 3/8-inch sheet metal screws to attach the back plate.

Design three: is completely 3D printed with no use of screws or heat inserts, and uses pins on the back plate that push into the main model body with a friction fit. I have included a test print so you can see if you need adjust the model because of differences/tolerances of your printer.

I suggest that you use the print orientation shown in the .3mf files. This puts the less beautiful parts of the curved surface at the bottom of the model instead of the front. Organic supports work great!

I have included .step files so you can make any adjustments or remixes you need.
