Shaving Brush Travel Case (3D Printed)

This project combines two of my favorite hobbies, 3D printing and old fashioned shaving. Whether you've gotten a shave at a barber or use a shave brush at home, nothing beats a good lather and a nice brush. When you're traveling however, the last thing you want to do is bend, crease, or otherwise damage your nice badger brush.

3D printer, Slicer of your choice, Filament of your choice

Being a student I have access to and more experience in Solidworks, so that is what I used for this project. In the Thingiverse folder I've included both the STL and raw SLDPRT files.

Using a standard 0.4mm nozzle I recommend printing 2 or 3 walls depending on the part. For the Bottom I prefer 3 to fill in the part more fully, but I found that using 2 walls instead of 3 on the top can cut an hour or more off print time without compromising strength. The tolerances are designed to be fairly large so the parts slide easily, but still maintain a good lock.

P.S. I don't have any wood filled filament to try this, but it would probably look really awesome made in wood.
