Summary

This is my #RemixChallenge entry!

I've added a long snout for your Toothbrush! Now you can save on toothpaste and bring your toothbrush with you on your travels. I've kept the original design mostly the same, and created a Piggy for your toothbrush

How I Designed This

How I Designed the Toothbrush Holder

            <div><p>I loved the original design so I wanted to keep alot of it the same. I made every new fillet the same radius as the original design, as well as kept the thickness of the model the same. I had to recreate the design in AutoCAD since it was very difficult for me to modify the original .STL files. You can see in my progress pictures how I managed to overlay my drawing with the original model to create a picture perfect mirror image of the animal. After I had recreated the original model I began researching into the average size of toothbrush heads, which is how I came to use the models dimensions. At first, I was going to make the "snout" more squarish but after printing it, I found it did not match the style of the original animals very well - So I gave the snout a rounded edge and gave it nostrils. To support the bridge of the snout I included a 45 degree ramp so that no support material would be needed.</p></div>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/53/1c/67/ab/d3/1.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Original .STL file imported into AutoCAD</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/78/2d/b9/25/72/2.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Drawing over top of the original model to get a picture perfect mirror</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/dc/c9/28/44/61/3.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>The dimensions of the original model were very easy to mimic, since almost every value was rounded to the nearest milimeter</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/e7/28/6f/3e/0f/4.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Recreating the model using circles</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/2f/12/c5/1e/ba/5.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>The snout I had originally designed</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/38/cd/51/54/ca/6.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Mirroring the face to create a symmetrical face</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/72/57/4b/3f/20/7.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Extruding the face</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/c0/4b/e5/8c/78/8.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Adding the </strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/6e/85/4a/58/1f/9.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>I did not like the square nose, so I made the top round with the snout and added nostrils</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/e0/ad/87/30/99/10.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Final drawing of the updated toothpaste pusher and toothbrush holder.</strong></p>
