BUILD PROCEDURE:
Using Fusion 360, create the separate parts. The door, body, spin plate, and stand.
After 3D printing all the parts, assemble with some adhesive/hinges of your choice.
Program an Arduino chip with an on/off switch, UV-C light, and a 360 degree motor according to the Arduino code.
Once programmed assemble in main body of toothbrush sanitizer.

TESTING
Our testing consisted of buying our top 2 similar solutions and testing them to see if their UV lights help disinfect the toothbrush
We brushed each side of our mouths with the toothbrushes ( one for the left side, one for the right side)
One toothbrush got disinfected and one didn't to compare if UV sanitation works

Pink: Left out in open
After having each toothbrush in our bathrooms for a week we swabbed them on agar plates to measure bacteria growth

CONCLUSION
My partner and I learned a lot from this experience as we went through the design process. We went through so many 3d printing trial and error, finding the correct coding for the motor, and getting the UV light to turn on, it was for sure a big learning lesson.
