The Best 3D Prints for the Bathroom
The bathroom is full of small, awkward items that never have a proper home — soap, brushes, razors, rings you take off to wash your hands. A 3D printer fixes all of it, in the exact size and colour you want, for pennies. Here are the most useful bathroom prints — plus the one filament tip that makes them last.
1. Soap dish
The classic. A printed soap dish with drainage slots in the floor lets water drain away so the bar dries between uses instead of turning to mush in a puddle. Size it to your soap and match it to your decor. One of the most satisfying "why did I ever buy one" prints.
2. Toothbrush & toothpaste holder
An upright caddy keeps brushes off the counter (and away from whatever else lives there). A divided design holds brushes on one side and toothpaste or a razor on the other, and a slotted floor lets water drain so nothing sits in a slimy puddle.
3. Catch-all tray
A shallow tray by the sink for rings, jewelry, hair ties, razors and the small stuff that otherwise goes down the drain. A divider gives you two compartments. (It works just as well on a nightstand or entryway — see organizing your home.)
4. Wall hooks
Adhesive-backed hooks for towels, robes, loofahs and razors get things off the floor and counter and let them dry. Print a few; stick them where you actually need them rather than where the builder put the towel rail.
5. The extras
- Tumblers / rinse cups and cotton-bud jars.
- Shelf risers and small baskets for the cabinet.
- Toothpaste-tube squeezers to get every last bit.
- Cable clips for hair-tool cords (see our cable management prints).
The one filament tip: use PETG
The bathroom is warm and humid, and things get wet. PLA can soften in a steamy bathroom and doesn't love constant moisture over time — for soap dishes, holders and anything that gets wet, print in PETG (or ABS/ASA). It's barely harder to print and far more durable here. Not sure? Our filament selector will pick for you. And remember: standard FDM prints aren't food-safe, so keep them to soap, brushes and bits — not anything you eat from.
Bottom line: start with a soap dish and a toothbrush holder (both print in an evening), add a catch-all tray and a couple of hooks, and print it all in PETG so it lasts. Small prints, a much tidier bathroom. New to designing your own? See how to design your own 3D models.
