Braun Series 5 Shaver Holder

thingiverse

A two-part wall holder for Braun Series 5 shavers (or at least, my Braun Series 5 shaver). The top and bracket joint is meant to be glued and is reinforced by two 1/4" fluted dowels. Because this shaver can be rinsed under the tap after use, there is an indentation with drainage on the top of the holder for the cutter head cover. Two holes in the face of the bracket allow the holder to be mounted on a wall (it's not a free-standing holder, although it certainly could be remixed as such). How I Designed This I used a longitudinal photo I took of the cutter head, along with Inkscape and GIMP 2 to create an SVG pattern of the cutter head outline. This pattern was imported into 123D Design as a sketch and extruded into a solid, which was then used to create the cut-out for the block in the top of the holder. Getting the dowel holes to line up was an interesting challenge, but by using a wireframe view in 123D Design (i.e. outlines only) along with multiple copies of the dowel shape, I was able to create properly aligned holes in the top and the bracket.
