That is SWEET!!
I agree with you. 3d printers are great for prototyping, but the quality continues to improve, and to a degree, the results are a sensible compromise.Very cool design @SlimGem . Shame I really hate how anything 3D printed looks.
If there was a way to make the surface look smooth I'd go for it but in my eye 3D printing is for proof of concept but not an end product.
Besides that, very impressed with a printed hinge. Kudos
For those fortunate enough to have a Schick clam-shell case for their Kronas, the Henson fits perfectly, with no rattles or movement. It makes for a nice travel case. Again, just an idea for others if they happen to have. Of course other offerings in leather or wood or whatever, may be a nicer choice for them and more up to date.Travel case? Hell, that's a display case as well.
I think you might have lightning in a bottle. Like post-retirement supplemental income level stuff.
Of course I'm wondering now what are the most commonly owned DEs in this subculture...
This is the case I mentioned above. Even has room for a small bottle of thread oil or shave oil.For those fortunate enough to have a Schick clam-shell case for their Kronas, the Henson fits perfectly, with no rattles or movement.

Hmmm, I haven't. I don't really how they would feel about a plastic case that is already available as a free download.Have you contacted Henson
See what they think ? Some kind of tie up together you never know !!
Just a little Show n' Tell. Some time ago I was asked to design a 3d printed travel case for the Henson razor, but I kept shelving the project because I didn't have a Henson and there wasn't enough info to recreate my own as a guideline. Well, I finally got a Henson AL13, and now the case is finally finished. This is a special design for me because as far as I know, it is the only 3d printable design that features the first-ever fully functional print-in-place vertical hinge. By printing in a vertical position, the hinge design takes full advantage of layer orientation which makes it stronger, with higher tolerances and longer lasting. Ok, the last sentence was just 3d printing nonsense. Either way, as I do with most of my designs, the file for this travel case is available as a free download for personal non-commercial use. If you own a Henson and want to print your own, or if you have a 3d printer and want to print it for a friend or fellow wet-shaver, you can find the file here or here.

It really depends on the printer and slicer settings. On a Bambu Lab A1 Mini, it takes just over two hours with basic settings and requires about 17 meters or 50 grams of filament. Hope that helps.Hi.
Just stumbled onto this thread... a year late "to the party", but better late than never.
I looked quickly through the thread and didn't see anything on how long, approximately, will it take to print the case. Can you provide a +/- estimate? Like any printer, you pay extra for performance etc., and I'm sure the same holds true for 3D Printers.
I don't own a 3D printer but my local library does (you just pay for materials) and I (may) have access to some higher-end 3D printers at a University.
Thanks!
Good to know. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.It really depends on the printer and slicer settings. On a Bambu Lab A1 Mini, it takes just over two hours with basic settings and requires about 17 meters or 50 grams of filament. Hope that helps.
Thanks! Going to need to do a little research.The geetech A20 printer takes about 5 hours with fine or normal settings and 43 to 50 grams or 14 meters of material to make the case..
