Bottle Brush Stand

Like @Athena_921199, I really liked the little stand that came with our Oxo Baby Brush, and was disappointed that I cannot use it any more, now that we've outgrown our bottle brush and switched to a longer brush with swappable brush heads. (This non-Oxo brush long-handled from Amazon).

I was inspired by the parent model's design, but have had bad experiences with trapped water beneath other large flat objects sitting directly on my sink in the past (:shakes-fist: @ that one contact lens box...). The simple answer would have been some stick-on silicone feet...

Instead, I wanted to try modeling TPU feet and ended up with this model. I have not had a long time to test this model yet, so it may require further revision in either dimensions or water handling over time.

Assembly

The parts all print easily with a broad flat bottom surface. Then, the TPU feetsnap into the Cappart, which in turn twists to lock into the bottom of the Body.

Printing

Straightforward. Each part has a broad flat bottom and does not require supports.

See attached .3mf project files for the settings I used.

• The body and cap can be printed in any available filament, and do not require supports.

  • In my print, I customized the body with an extra perimeter on the first 3mm to strengthen the twist latching mechanism

  • Printed with the 0.2mm SPEED profile tweaked for Cubic infill

  • I printed in PLA

  • No supports

• The feet I printed in a 95A TPU to experiment. This is a bit stiff yet and doesn't have as much 'grip' on the counter as I might like, but grips far better than slippery PLA and leaves a nice gap for water to drain below the brush.
