The bathroom is one of the hardest rooms in the home to organise. Standard accessories from the shop often don\u2019t suit the size, colour or shape you need. And if the bathroom is small, finding a compact solution becomes a real quest. This is where 3D printing helps: you can create any accessory exactly for your needs and dimensions.<\/p>\n
In this article we look at which bathroom items can be printed on a 3D printer, which material to choose and what to pay attention to when ordering.<\/p>\n
One of the most popular bathroom items. 3D printing lets you create a holder for the number of brushes you need, with separate slots for each family member. You can include holes for water to drain, a wall mount or a stand for a shelf. Such a holder fits perfectly into the space by the sink, even when room is tight.<\/p>\n
Ordinary soap dishes collect water, so the soap goes soggy and gets used up quickly. A printed soap dish with drainage holes or a ridged base solves this problem. The water drains away, the soap stays dry and lasts longer. The shape and size can be matched to a particular soap or dispenser.<\/p>\n
Tubes, bottles, jars of cream \u2014 all of these need convenient storage. A 3D-printed organiser can be designed with compartments of different heights and widths so that every product has its place. These organisers can sit on a shelf, be fixed to the wall or go in the cabinet under the sink.<\/p>\n
Drilling into walls isn\u2019t always possible, especially in rented homes. 3D-printed hooks can be designed to hang on a door, the edge of a shelf or a curtain rail. They\u2019re light, strong and don\u2019t damage surfaces \u2014 and they hold the weight of a towel without any trouble.<\/p>\n
A corner shelf for a shower cubicle is a classic example of an item that\u2019s hard to find in the shops. Corner angles vary, and a standard shelf often won\u2019t stay put or won\u2019t hold the bottles you need. A printed shelf is designed for the specific corner and mounting, so it fits perfectly.<\/p>\n
Lost the drain cover or need a grate in a non-standard size? 3D printing solves this in a few hours. Just measure the diameter of the drain opening and you get a part that fits perfectly. You can add a fine mesh to catch hair.<\/p>\n
A broken or badly designed standard shower head holder is a common problem. A printed holder can be made for the specific diameter of the shower head and the way it mounts: on a rail, on the wall or on the edge of the bath. It\u2019s cheaper than buying a whole set for the sake of one part.<\/p>\n
A hair dryer often lies on a shelf or hangs from a hook by its cord, which is inconvenient and unsafe. A dedicated stand or wall holder for the hair dryer provides convenient storage. The design takes the hair dryer model into account, so it\u2019s held securely and is easy to take out.<\/p>\n
Rings, clips and fittings for a shower curtain often break or get lost. Instead of hunting for a replacement in the shops, you can print as many fittings as you need for your rail. It\u2019s quick, inexpensive and practical.<\/p>\n
The choice of material<\/a> is the key question for items that are in constant contact with water and humidity. Not every 3D printing plastic is suitable for a bathroom.<\/p>\n PLA is the most common 3D printing material, but it\u2019s definitely not suitable for the bathroom. Here are the main reasons:<\/p>\n If you need an item that will last for years in the bathroom, PLA is the wrong choice.<\/p>\n PETG<\/a> is the material made for exactly these conditions. Its advantages for the bathroom:<\/p>\n For most bathroom accessories, PETG offers the best balance of price, quality and durability.<\/p>\n To get a perfect result, keep a few things in mind:<\/p>\n 3D printing bathroom accessories is an affordable solution. Small items such as hooks or drain covers cost just a few dozen hryvnias. Larger items \u2014 organisers, shelves, holders \u2014 come out noticeably cheaper than factory equivalents in stainless steel or quality plastic. Most importantly, you get something made exactly for your needs rather than a compromise from the shop.<\/p>\n 3D printing opens up wide possibilities for organising a bathroom. From simple hooks to complex organisers \u2014 everything can be made to your dimensions and wishes. The main thing is to choose the right material: for the bathroom that\u2019s definitely PETG<\/a>, which isn\u2019t afraid of water, heat or household chemicals.<\/p>\n Need bathroom accessories?<\/strong><\/p>\n Send us a 3D model \u2014 we\u2019ll help you find the right solution and print the item in PETG so it lasts for years.
