A friend asked me to make here a toothbrush holder that covered her toothbrush when she was not using it. Rather than simply making two telescoping cylinders, I decided to make the most over complicated toothbrush holder in existence.
This monstrosity uses a lever arm that turns some gears that move some racks that simultaneously lift a platform and swing open the lid. I can confirm that it works as intended but the design could certainly be improved. I have no intension of making another one of these or making improvements to the design so I've included the .sldprt files if anyone wants to give it a shot.
The assembly process is challenging. If you enjoy frustration this is the build for you. Good luck, you'll need it.
