Toilet Cleaning Block Basket

prusaprinters

<p>At home we're making our own tablets for toilet cleaning (environmentally friendly and cheaper). So I designed and 3D printed a basket to put it inside the toilet bowl. Design inspired by an other model available here → <a href="https://www.printables.com/fr/model/198721-toilet-tank-bleach-tab-holder/comments">https://www.printables.com/fr/model/198721-toilet-tank-bleach-tab-holder/comments</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Design</strong></p><p>From Fusion 360 I designed a simple rectangular block that was extruded and drilled with several holes</p><p>I designed as well a separate hook to hang the basket inside the toilet bowl.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/266266/rich_content/886ee0e4-3f3e-4004-8f67-df8c47a3c615/support-bloc-wc-v7-fusion-360-1.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2285768c04-e245-43f3-9a6b-1642599a7a5f%22%2C%22w%22%3A646%2C%22h%22%3A760%7D"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/266266/rich_content/6acf9957-d07e-457b-b2e0-7294574b5000/support-bloc-wc-v7-fusion-360-2.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2219b11676-bad4-4269-8891-1db92708be66%22%2C%22w%22%3A557%2C%22h%22%3A728%7D"></figure><p>The hook is attached (slided) to the basket after printing</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/266266/rich_content/576c8bd3-66e1-4350-a6af-cbef4e4b71f7/support-bloc-wc-v7-fusion-360-3.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22236b61e1-9493-48b3-8433-1070ddc9c151%22%2C%22w%22%3A607%2C%22h%22%3A541%7D"></figure><p>The thickness of the hook has been defined to be flexible enough to be bent to be attached (slided) to the basket and strong enough to support the weight of the basket and the tablet itself</p><p>I printed several prototypes to find the correct thickness.
