3D printing has become an invaluable tool for DIY enthusiasts, and Philips is augmenting this trend by offering a library of 3D printable components for the public. These specially designed components aim to simplify the process of creating replacement parts for various devices.

Currently, the library includes a specific item: a 3mm comb guard for their shaving device. This initiative, termed Philips Fixables, will allow users to download and print parts for free via Printables.com.

This program signifies a gradual move towards a culture of repair and sustainability, which is increasingly important as consumers look for ways to reduce waste. While only a single part is available now, Philips is expected to expand the library based on user requests, emphasizing the growing importance of right-to-repair initiatives.
