After printing, simply cut the small connecting piece between the gripper arms and gently pull them apart. Ensure the arms are symmetrical and aligned before inserting your toothbrush. This holder is optimized for PLA+ filament, which maintains flexibility better than standard PLA.
For mounting, Tesa Powerstrips work well. Cut them in half horizontally and adhere them to the back of the holder for a secure attachment to bathroom tiles.
