3D Printed Travel Case for the Henson AL13 Safety Razor

[ylekot]

That is SWEET!!

 

[Qanzoq]

Have you contacted Henson

See what they think ? Some kind of tie up together you never know !!

Thanks @SlimGem very cool design. I went for a brown wooden look with the natural aluminum razor.

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

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.

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...

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.

This is the case I mentioned above. Even has room for a small bottle of thread oil or shave oil.

Hmmm, I haven't. I don't really how they would feel about a plastic case that is already available as a free download.

Very impressive work. Would love to have one myself.

How much would it usually cost us if we get this printed elsewhere?

Not so tech savvy here, so just share the file to the printing shop and that’s it?

What material should we use in case they ask?

Would this be printed separately top and bottom and then fit it together?

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!

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.

GREAT Photo Illustrations, and very cool Henson Case.

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.

Good to know. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

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..

Thanks! Going to need to do a little research.

First of all thank you very much for sharing it here. Fantastic, really.

Secondly, I am still a total amateur when it comes to 3D printing. I did not even know about this "print-in-place vertical hinge". Now I know what I will do, for several few weeks. I had many objects that I wanted to make, and this method will definitely be useful, when I become familiar with it. Again, thank you.


Printed with Bambu Lab A1, just now.
