3D printed bathroom accessories work best in PETG, which Reddit users recommend over PLA for showers and wet areas. Jet L, a YouTube channel whose bathroom gadgets video has over 40,000 views, printed a drain snake that took about 5 g of filament and 20 minutes.
In the laundry room, Jordan Prints, a YouTube channel about home organization, covered a wall with Multiboard, and one set of hooks cost about 31 cents. Carbon Cave, a maker channel, printed a cup holder that catches detergent drips.
Here are the most useful bathroom and laundry prints, and how to make them last around water.

For anything that gets wet, Reddit users in r/3Dprinting recommend PETG over PLA, plus drainage and regular cleaning. Tinker Time, a YouTube tutorial channel, shows how to design a simple holder in Tinkercad.
Here are the main designs, the right material and how to keep it clean.
Types of 3D Printed Toothbrush Holders
| Type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Counter stand with drain | Manual brushes |
| Electric brush and head holder | Oral-B and Sonicare heads |
| Wall or mirror mount | Small counters |
| Holder with cover | Shared bathrooms, travel |

Material and Settings
- PETG for moisture and heat; PLA can deform with hot water

Hygiene Tips
- Avoid closed cups where water pools
- Wash the holder often; replace it if grime sets into layer lines
