I needed some toothbrush holders for the bathroom that could be mounted to the wall. Initially I printed the thing from PieterBos http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5497. Although it was functional after printing it I felt that it took too much material and had an inorganic feel to it with the hard crisp edgess of the design.
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!
