I lost a removable part of the clipper.



A small thing, such as chipping the bottom of an electric toothbrush, can cause clippers or electric toothbrushes to become unusable.



Once that happens, it just goes in the trash.



On the other hand, 77% of people prefer to repair things rather than throw them away. However, the hurdles to repairing things are very high, such as the high cost of ordering repair parts. For this reason, many people choose to 'buy a new thing instead of repairing it.'



So Philips launched 'Philips Fixables' to increase the repair availability of its products.



Philips Fixables is an open-access digital library of 3D printable replacement parts that can be easily printed on a 3D printer for Philips personal health products.

There are a variety of replacement parts that can be 3D printed, such as an electric toothbrush holder.



Philips Fixables is a project started in collaboration with Prusa Research and LePub. 3D printable parts are distributed on the Philips account of Printables.com , a database of 3D printable models. At the time of writing, the comb for the Philips shaver ' OneBlade ' was distributed.

While you can't 3D print a new shaver, you can easily 3D print replacement parts instead of having to find or order replacement parts to ship.

The 3D printable replacement parts distributed by Philips Fixables have been verified to meet Philips' quality and safety standards in collaboration with Prusa Research, but the durability and functionality of the 3D printed replacement parts depend on the user's adherence to the 3D printing materials and Philips' recommended guidelines.

Philips Fixables plans to offer replacement parts for shavers, electric toothbrushes, hair dryers and more in the future.
