Description

The PL13 is a 3D-printed replica of the awesome Henson AL13 safety razor.

I named it PL13 because… it's made of plastic instead of aluminum. ;)

 

While you can print the PL13 in standard PLA or PETG, I strongly recommend using a stiffer carbon-reinforced filament such as PLA-CF, PETG-CF, or even PPA-CF. Why? Because with regular filaments, the top cap flexes slightly when screwed in, which causes the razor blade to bend ever so slightly—not the end of the world, but enough to affect the precision of your shave. With a carbon-fiber-infused filament, however, you get a razor that is stiff, durable, and surprisingly functional.

Give it a boost if you find it interesting! Thank you! :)

PS: This is the razor stand from the photo.

Printed for my son to pretend he is shaving with me. But wow I got to say this is very close to the real thing.

works well, I have use a different infill pattern and it seems to be stiff enough to hole the blade well.

Blue PET-G, 30% infill Rectilinear. It looked pretty solid to me! I just added this hole so I could hang it near the shower.

Printed very nicely. Although head is a bit weak using PETG. When tightened down to the proper pressure on the blade, head bends down in the middle. I will try again with a stiffer filament.

Thank you. The middle bend is an issue I also struggled with and couldn't completely resolve (but didn't try PLA-CF or anything). I will try to tweak the model a bit to increase the stiffness.

Thank you! This is truly amazing, I'm having to play with the print profiles to make it stronger though. I'm currently testing printing it at a 30% angle with the seam. I'll upload a profile if it comes out better than the default one.

Thanks! I've been meaning to tweak a little bit the design to make it sturdier but haven't had the free time to do so yet.
