Many shaving gel (and foam) cans are made out of metal. If they are stored in damp or wet locations like the shower, the bottom of the cans can rust and that can leave rust stains on your shower or bathroom tile.
I got tired of cleaning off rust stains off of my shower tiles, so I made these simple ‘bottom caps’ / can covers to slip onto the metal shaving gel containers and keep the metal bottoms from touching the tile or other surfaces.
Snug fit means the can cover won't come off normally until you are ready to remove it and place it on the next can when the current one is empty.
Two designs:
- With drain channel: in addition to the central hole, this version has thin ‘channels’ to allow any water that does make it past the seal to drain out even if the can doesn't move.
- Without drain channel: my first iteration. Has a central hole. Any water that makes it past the seal, falls down the hole. The next time you lift the can, the water escapes.
These models fit cans like these from Edge and Gillette.
Also fits some of the ‘travel size’ containers. And may even fit other brands and maybe even some non-shaving products - but not sure.
If you find other brands/cans these fit, let me know and I'll note them here. I did purchase a shaving gel can in Asia that this model did not fit (it was slightly too slim). So while this might not be 100% “universal”, it does seem that ~60mm is a somewhat common width.
Printing Notes:
TPU works great for these. Yes, it can be a bit finicky to print with, but if you are comfortable using it, this is a great material for this practical print. Flexible and if it drops, it won't break.
Another great choice is PETG. An infill of 25% and PETG is strong yet flexible enough. I dropped one of my PETG covers and it survived fine.
PLA can also work OK. My first “cap” was printed with PLA - but then I dropped it (attached to a can) and it shattered on impact. PLA is very hard but brittle.
BTW, the version with the drain channels does not need supports - the width is only 2mm and can be easily bridged as you can see from the photo showing the underside. Print it with channels down - no supports needed.
