Nail file holder / makeup brush

My wife likes to keep her nail files inside the medicine cabinet in our bathroom. The problem is if we lay them down they usually fall out when we open the door. We did not have a cup that fits in the space inside a medicine cabinet so I decided to print one.

I may have over did the base a bit but it does stop the cup from tipping over if you catch a nail file on it.

This nail file cup is 3 inches (75 mm) tall and about 2 1/8 inches (55 mm) wide. So I am guessing it should fit any standard medicine cabinet.

My wife also uses this to hold her makeup brushes. It is surprisingly perfect for the size. It holds a lot of brushes but is also very easy to remove them.

Notes:

I printed mine with 2 walls for the top / bottom and the sides. In the inside bottom of the cup there is one small area that did not seal but I think it is because I printed mine with 2 walls.

Insert nail files and put in medicine cabinet. Enjoy your new nail file storage holder thingy.
