Philips Fixables 3D Printed Parts Make Repairs a Breeze

Anyone who owns a 3D printer knows the thrill of creating custom solutions on the fly, and now Philips is tapping into that sense of empowerment with its new Fixables program. If you’ve ever had a favorite gadget sidelined by a missing or broken part, you know how frustrating it is to hunt down a replacement—or worse, toss the whole thing out. Philips Fixables aims to make small repairs simpler, more sustainable, and a lot more personal.

Imagine needing a new 3mm comb for your Philips OneBlade shaver. Instead of searching for a spare part online or at the store, you can now download the file, print the comb at home, and keep your grooming routine on track. Philips Fixables takes a step up from being a clever workaround into becoming a collaboration with Prusa Research that puts sustainability front and center, helping you keep your products running longer and preventing needless waste.

Designer: Philips

The Fixables initiative is a collection of 3D printable designs for spare parts, add-ons, and smart fixes for Philips products. Right now, the lineup is just getting started, with the OneBlade comb as its first offering. But Philips promises that more parts and clever upgrades will follow, expanding the possibilities for anyone with a 3D printer and a knack for DIY repairs.

Getting started is as easy as downloading the design, following the instructions, and printing the part in your favorite color or material. Some parts are designed by Philips engineers, while others are inspired by creative users who’ve found their own solutions. The best part? You can share your own designs and help the community grow, making repairs more accessible for everyone.

Of course, results may vary depending on your printer’s quality, settings, and the materials you use. There’s some trial and error involved, but for many tech-savvy consumers, that’s part of the fun. It’s also a bold move for Philips, as the reputation of their products will partially depend on how well these user-printed parts perform. Still, it’s a promising step toward reducing waste and supporting the growing right to repair movement.

Philips Fixables is a welcome shift in how brands can support product longevity, sustainability, and creativity. For anyone who loves tinkering, fixing, and making things last, Fixables gives you one more reason to keep your 3D printer humming, and your favorite Philips gear in perfect shape.
