That exact thing being showcases broke on me while I was shaving my junk over my toilet. It fell right in.

I wish I had a 3d printer now though because being able to print another would be awesome.

Try a library. Or a fab shop near you may print it for a small fee.

Apparently that might be illegal, since its licensed NC

Not able to search that, coming back with north Carolina DMV stuff. Is that Non commercial or something?

[–] jagged_circle 1 points 2 days ago (4 children)

NC is Non Commercial. They used an NC license, which makes it illegal to sell.

Its a shit choice because people gotta feed themselves

That thing falls in the toilet every time I do the same. I just fish it out and wash it thoroughly.

Philips trimmers SUUUUUUUUCK.

I had an electric trimmer. The plastic attachments for the various shaving grades were fixed at each end with the smallest possible fragment of plastic. So as you're going over the curves of your skin, those tiny plastic fragments were guaranteed to break before long, rendering the entire trimmer useless, even though it technically still worked. Ordering replacements, which were guaranteed to break, was more expensive than buying an entire new trimmer.

Switched to a different brand and no problems whatsoever.

There's no way a group of people working for Philips sat around designing that shit and didn't know it was designed to break. Planned obsolescence. Fuck Philips.

Howdy, i was about to invest in a Philips trimmer, and now I'm wondering what brand you recommend?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'll try to remember to check this when I get home. I forgot what my current brand is. But the plastic attachments are designed in such a way that I have zero concern about them breaking.
