The video introducing the initiative touts it as a simpler and easier way to extend the lifetimes of functional items rather than throwing them out because a single part or attachment is broken. Philips has partnered with Prusa Research and LePub on this endeavor, and Printables is hosting the <a data-i13n=\"elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:1;pos:1\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.printables.com\/@Philips\/models\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:plans;elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:1;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are some caveats and limitations to this concept. The quality of the replacement part will depend on the materials used to create it, and not every customer has a 3D printer at home. (Although some public library systems, universities and local maker communities may have equipment that can be used or rented on site.)<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also still a project in its early stages. Fixables is initially launching in the Czech Republic. On the <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.philips.cz\/c-e\/fixables\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:website;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><\/a> for the Fixables program (which is in Czech), Philips explains that it&#8217;s starting with the home country for Prusa Research and it is reaching out to the 3D printing company&#8217;s existing maker community for this project. Another sign that the initiative is still in the early stages is that there&#8217;s only one part plan available: a comb attachment for the OneBlade trimmer. But per Google Translate, two more plans are labeled as &#8220;We are working on it&#8221; and there are three different icons with no descriptions that point to additional plans. The Fixables website also has an option for customers to submit a request for parts they want to be able to 3D print.<\/p>\n<p>So while Fixables is a long way from making a real dent in waste from personal care products, it&#8217;s exciting to see a major brand making a serious effort to explore the potential of 3D printing for better sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/home\/philips-fixables-will-let-you-3d-print-replacement-parts-for-your-electric-razors-and-trimmers-233025245.html?src=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philips is launching a new program called Fixables, where it will make plans available so that customers can 3D print replacement parts for the company&#8217;s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":296065,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[171],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-296064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gadget"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
