My Solution to the mold issue

Hi everyone,

I’ve seen several posts about moisture and mold developing in Oral-B iO toothbrush handles and brush heads. I designed a stand that holds the toothbrush body and brush heads upside down, using gravity to help excess moisture drain and allow the parts to air-dry.

The 3D printed stand is available in versions for 1–4 brush heads.

I want to be transparent: I cannot guarantee this will prevent mold for your case, as there are plenty of factors that can cause it. I’m sharing it as a possible way to improve drying, not as a guaranteed solution.

If anyone is interested, it’s available here for purchase: https://www.ebay.com/itm/278437588627

Just got some new Orab B brushes from amazon. Would you accept this? First image is how they usually arrive second is what I got. They smell badly of some type of chemical. How is this acceptable from a health / safety standpoint?
