Customizable Philips Grooming Stand

Overview:

This model features a base that can showcase up to 12 grooming products, with the added benefit of being customizable to the users needs and desires. The base presents 12 individual magnetic templates that snap into place and can fit pieces such as stands for nose trimmers, beard trimmers, their attachments, and dishes that can hold more. The 3 stands currently designed for the model are the Philips NT3345, Philips NT3600, and Philips BT3750, with an optional .STEP file included of a blank stand for further customization. Along with these stands, stands for beard trimmer attachments are also included, as well as a 1x1 dish, 2x1 dish, and 2x2 dish for further customizability for the users needs. The base also features a drawer for storage space for items not necessarily desired to be presented, such as unused trimmer attachments, and for organization of items like chargers and travel bags. I have also added a mustache design to the drawer face for multi color capable printers, or can be painted in at a later date.

Assembly:

Beginning the assembly, the 4 Legs should be attached in their respective locations on the bottom of the base using Super Glue or other similar adhesive. 

Alternatively, the drawer has a single assembly step before it can be inserted. The M3x20 Bolt threads into the top of the knob, while the respective M3 Nut is fixed into place on the inside of the drawer face. After threading the bolt fully into the knob, the knob can then be threaded into the bolt, securing it to the face of the drawer. Careful not to push the drawer into the base without the attached knob or you risk getting it stuck. Depending on tolerances, there is locations for 4 additional magnets to be mounted to the case and drawer should it slide too freely for the users liking.

Inserting magnets should be the last step following printing of all desired stands and attachments. The base and each stand or dish should be designed so that the magnets can be pressed into their locations firmly and not fall out. Should any issue arise with magnets falling out, simply put a touch of glue on them before inserting them. The magnets should be inserted such that they all attract to the same direction so that each stand can snap to each location of the base. In my experience, it is best to insert all the magnets to the base in the same direction, set an extra magnet on top of each one, and then press each stand onto the magnet as it wants to naturally attract to the magnet in the base.

Following the attachment of the feet, assembly of the drawer, and proper mounting of the stands to the base, the final product should be complete. Enjoy!
