Voronoi toothpaste holder

A usefull and, decorative design of a toothpaste holder. The hole in the bottom is used to drain away water from from your wet toothpaste tube.

Design process

I used Fusion 360 to model a box ( after measuring my toothpaste). Then inserted a svg of a tooth. I have cut out the svg tooth of the toothpaste box. And opened up the file in meshmixer. I have used the brush function (reduce) to brush the object (not up and lower side) in the middle. Then i have separeted the shells using a plane cut.. . i separeted the bottom part (1cm) from the upper part. And the next step was to use the function edit ( make pattern) and create one sided edges (edges). Than i have combined the lower part to the upper part. Next step was to use the analysis function in meshmixer and repair the file ( auto repair). Saved the file a an STL-file, scaled it in 123 design (because this is a handy program i'm used to to scale objects) and printed it!
