| 26/02/2025 | The model wouldn't scale properly to meet some parametric changes. It's been updated and should scale fine now. |
| 24/05/2023 | I added reinforcement in the stand because under the load of the brush, the original design started to bend ever so slightly. It's stronger, and makes the tube look like a Mandalorian helmet. This is the way. I also added a recess in the stand for the brush to better sit (and not slide off it in case of small vibrations or the stand bending slightly). |

I used another shaving brush travel case design for a bit, but found myself having to let the brush dry upside down, which wasn't great.
So instead, I designed my own, with an integrated stand!

To put the brush in the case, close the screw on lid and put the brush in handle first. Then, with the case upside down, clip the stand in on the side.
To remove it from the case, hold the case upside down, then unclip the stand from the side, and finally unscrew the cap.
Printing:
I printed the 3 parts at 0.2mm in PLA.
- The cap: I printed with no support.
- The stand: I printed with organic (tree) support everywhere.
- The tube: I printed with organic (tree) support on painted parts, and brim for optimal bed adhesion. I printed it upside down (thread at the bottom) and painted supports for the top part of the slot (in which the stand's fork slides).

To adjust the dimensions, follow these steps:
You can adjust a few things for this model, using Fusion360.
- InnerTubeDiameter: The inner tube diameter. Account for 1-2mm more than your brush handle's diameter so it's not too tight of a fit.
- TubeHeight: The tube height. Account for an additional 5 to 8mm so your brush doesn't touch the base of the stand when hung to dry.
- BrushNeckDiameter: The brush neck diameter.
- BrushNeckDistanceFromTop: The distance from the neck to the top of the brush handle.
- VentTubeRatio: The portion of the tube height which is vented. Set between 0 and 0.8
- Other less important diameters can also be adjusted (e.g. spacing between holes, holes diameter, etc.)

Important note for parameters:
If you need to increase the brush neck diameter and the inner tube diameter, start with the latter.
If you need to decrease the brush neck diameter and the inner tube diameter, start with the former.
There seems to be some issue with the venting holes updating correctly when you change parameters (not sure why). So, once you're done changing the parameters,
- Activate the “tube” component

- Select & modify the emboss feature in the timeline called “Grid embossing - reselect profile between holes when changing parameters”

- As its name suggests, re-select the sketch profile. You should select the section in between the circles, contained within the rectangle (it's only one selection).
