Wall mounted toothbrush holder
Description
I wanted a softer feeling object so I designed these gender coded male and female toothbrush holders in Sketchup. I'm pretty happy with the outcome and its features:
Rounded, soft edges
Small, effecient design with minimal use of material
Snappy tactile feedback when toothbrush gets locked into holder
Embossed with international male / female gender glyphs
Counter sunk mounting screw hole
Here's probably the only video in the world of a toothbrush holder demonstration. First!

I would prefer it if it were a toothbrush mounted wall holder. I'm always losing my walls.
I printed a few out several weeks ago and both the female ones broke very soon, while both the male ones are still working. I don't know if that's because my other half is reckless or because half the prints came out poorly.
I do know that these are difficult to print well with 3mm filament and a 0.5mm nozzle, and they could do with some reinforcement at the base of the clips, like a small fillet or chamfer on the inside line.
I love the snapping action on this thing!
Did you calculate the flex, or use trial and error until it worked right?
This is a perfect Thingiverse entry. You've got good photos of the printed object, demonstration video, STLs, and source files. Well done!
Hehe yeah mine is a bit bulky i admit :-) these look much better. also cool vid 8-)
