I don't know how much work is involved (especially if there is much post printing finishing work) but I imagine it is more time consuming than most consumers realize. I don't know what the guy behind "Shop Nation" actually produces, but I watched a couple of his youtube videos setting up his new workship with a few rows of 3d printers and streamlining the layout around keeping the printers feed and getting their output into shipping boxes.

I have several fatboys with cases, unfortunately, most of the cases suffer from hinge failure on at least one side. The little tab is a weak spot and they break easily.
I worked up replacement tabs that can be super glued on after filing down the lid even with the casting line. These tabs are a little more resilient than the hard clear plastic of the case lid and promise to resolve an issue.
I have attached the stl file to this post if you may find it useful.

Awesome idea. I'm sure many will find this super helpful. Thank you!
Wow, nice work!
I can tell you that the razor works really well and has gotten great reviews from some YouTubers and forum members. Having said that, it does require a well-calibrated 3d printer. Working with the very thin and flexible DE blade was challenging and I was forced to use very tight tolerances. I still have a few variations in the works, and one of them is a halved DE with multiple plates which I think will be a better shaver once complete.Has anybody tried printing this 3D DE razor model?
DE Safety Razor by rogerquin
Please note: For structural integrity, print the head cap on its side. Supports are not needed. If you have trouble with it not sticking to the bed, use a raft. This is a two-piece safety razor for use with double edge blades. Post-processing requires breaking away the supports on the blade...www.thingiverse.com
The design looks interesting and I would like to know if it works well.

Modified a soap dish to hold my La Toja sticks.
STL file attached.
After printing, glue the top with lettering to the top that is shown upside down.

What material are you using and how does it hold up to the water?

I've got a bunch of different materials, PETG, ABS, PLA, Nylon as well as Brass, Stainless Steel, Copper, and wood filled filament for different stuff.
I usually just use PLA, and have found that modern good quality PLA holds up pretty darned well.
I've got a little container I printed from PLA that is only 2mm wall thickness, and is filled with water 16 hours out of every 24 and it's doing fine for over a year now.

If someone has a particular soap brand that they would like to make a dish for, let me know and I'll drop the top here.
Along with the STL file above, you can substitute the new top for the existing one.

Is there any half De blade design?
Beautiful looking razor my friend! How's the shave?
This would be interesting....tho I am too afraid to try and break a blade in half! Lol. I always cut them in half and am not happy with the result.
Thank you. The shave is very similar to a Gillette Red Tip, but a lot lighter.
What filament is that sparkly black? Looks great!
It's Prusa Galaxy Black PLA. It's fairly easy to work with.
Cool. Thanks!
