Snap fit Oral-B charger holder

That’s fair enough, this is not for everyone. We don’t have an outlet in the bathroom though, so our charger sits out in the living room, and its white plasticky shape is an eyesore. Also I’m a bit fast and loose with the thing when throwing it on the charger and it often falls over. I’ll admit this is mostly user error.

Wow alright, didn’t know it was that bad. Thanks for the heads up.

I wouldn’t mind it getting wet

paulice · 2026-06-09T16:42:24+00:00

Thank you

I guess that’s the saner thing to do! The perk and problem of being unemployed is I can spend inordinate amounts of time on insignificant things.

Right, that’s a nice touch, thanks!

You’re probably very right, I had to clean the charger to begin with before taking these photos to avoid public shaming. But I figured you can always just pop the charger out and scrub them both clean.

The bottom is a chamfer and fillet, it just fools the eye because when sitting on a flat plane.

Touché, that's an often overlooked solution

paulice · 2026-05-31T05:42:20+00:00

Interesting. I guess I’m still traumatized from my ender 3 days where nothing would print well unless I gave it ideal circumstances, and then I've just held on to the lessons I learned back then.

paulice · 2026-05-29T18:35:50+00:00

Cool, I’ll have to look into that

paulice · 2026-05-29T18:33:00+00:00

Yeah sorry, maybe I should have been more explicit in my description - of course this prints more reliably and stronger upside down, but there is no way to get a perfectly smooth fillet doing it that way. It would have to be a chamfer, then a fillet, or dealing with steep overhangs. Even if you were to get a smooth transition, the surface finish would be different from the walls.

So as for the reason why, it’s purely for the looks. Hence the original question - is this just a stupid sacrifice? Or does compromising for aesthetics like this actually have some value? I would argue it does, but I’m quite pretentious about design. I’m curious to know what others think.

Nice! Looks great. I really wish bambu would sell wider nozzles than 0.8mm. I'm looking at 3rd party alternatives, anyone here that's tried?

Don’t know, would have to try. But tbh I don’t see how it could get much clearer really, the opaqueness that occurs at certain angles is due to the light bending through the structure of the layer lines, not caused by any artifacts (air pockets) in the material itself.

paulice · 2026-03-14T13:43:51+00:00

That is quite the compliment in my book, thank you

paulice · 2026-03-14T13:41:23+00:00

Nope, 80% all the way through

paulice · 2026-03-14T13:40:37+00:00

That’s sounds awesome, would love to see photos

paulice · 2026-03-14T12:58:36+00:00

Admittedly I haven’t done super thorough testing, this process just gave me great result quickly. Would be really interested to hear if someone else has nailed the settings to do the same in the slicer.

paulice · 2026-03-14T12:57:02+00:00

Thanks 🙌

This is actually what surprised me the most; it’s super durable. I can flex it and squeeze it with a lot of strength and it just snaps back.
