Here is the screw up plug version.

Another shaving stick holder for shaving soap sticks that eliminates the need to poke a hole in the center of your shave stick for it to fit in commercially available tubes.
This utilizes an included tool to screw a plug up from the bottom to push the shave stick up.
This is uploaded to allow others to test print, first test print is in progress but I do not have confirmation yet that everything works exactly as planned.
Once test prints are completed, I will update with any necessary tweaks.

The cap on this tube is a bit too tight, could use another .005 or .01 inch increase in inside diameter. I managed a fit with some filing work.
The push rod to outer tube is a good friction fit that keeps the outer tube from sliding down on its own.
The outer tube inner diameter is slightly larger than necessary for the Speick, Palmolive and Wilkinson Sword sticks, but I imagine the small amount of extra clearance is not an issue once the shave stick gets wet and pushed around a bit.

I can see already that wall thickness is way too thin on the cap. I'll bump that up along with anything else that becomes apparent when print is done.

@luvmysuper im out camping 🏕. I will print some next week when I’m back. The designs look great!

New Arko in wrapper is 1.310" Dia. X 3.3" long.

All I use is shave sticks, so I'll be printing a few of these. Thanks.

Thanks, looks like the others are about 1.1875 by just under 3. I think I had enough room in the first example to fit an arko stick.
Remember that these have not been fully tested as posted and might need some tweaking to get fitment right.

I dont have a 3d printer but could I commission a member to print me a travel case for my rockwell 6s? Can be very basic.

FWIW, the labels I created for the shave sticks.
I can't see why they would have an issue, but I am told that someone had something pulled for a brand name use. This is clearly fair use as you are buying the product to put in the container, and the companies involved do not make these containers.
Anyway, just in case, you might want to grab them while you can.

Shave Stick labels by Squid3958

These are 2 inch long labels for the shave stick holders that I uploaded so you can identify what soap you have put in each holder. They can be affixed with adhesive, or by embedding them in the side of the shave stick holder before printing.

We cannot in any way shape or form do commission work here. This is for sharing information free of charge. There may be a member who would print one out for you no charge out of the goodness of his heart, but soliciting or participating in anything which might be conceived as sales here might get our thread cancelled. We don't want that.

if you would give me a sketch up of what you are interested in, and some measurements necessary for things to fit, I could give it a go for you. This is a no charge to you design kind of thing, and if it is doable, I wouldn't mind printing one out and sending it off to you.

I have a few case designs that can be easily modified and resized. I can offer design time and upload the file if you like. Here's an example.

Oh shoot i didn't think about that. I'm sorry about that. When I get home I'll measure my rockwell 6s. Thank you so much

I'd need at a minimum the dimensions and quantities of the pieces involved.

 

[luvmysuper]

Just saw this on Thingiverse, could easily be modified. This is for the 6C/6S Rockwell and includes a lather bowl, insert and lid.

Travel Lather Bowl by jfrancais

This is our v2 of our travel lather bowl. Currently there is one insert available to hold the Rockwell 6c/6s razor, all three heads as well as a selection of blades. Insert sits inside the textured lather bowl for travel lathering. More inserts to be modelled soon.

www.thingiverse.com

First thing I'd do is add some one inch cutouts to make it easier to remove the insert from the bowl.

Alrighty then!

 

[luvmysuper]

I've been tinkering with the bowl kit and tried to see what it would look like with a little extra storage.
I double sided the lid, and added the bowl inverted to the top, with vent holes.
That would allow the storage of some soap/cream, a brush and a small bottle of AS.
Could print it with a both a single and double lid so that if you didn't want the extra storage it would be an easy change.
The kit is 5 3/4 inches wide, and even with the added bowl storage on top the overall height is only 3 3/4 inches.

The stl file is attached. Has the generic cut out for a 3 piece razor, and the option to print one or two lids.

 

[luvmysuper]

I'm going to give the kit a test print. I'll swap over to PLA first, I don't want to mess around with PETG on what is probably going to be a multi-run test.
