Paper towel holder with threaded rod for more stabilty

thingiverse

I used the original paper towel holder (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1526585) for my motorhome, but always had the problem that the roll unrolled by itself or fell off completely. I put a M8 threaded rod through the two round openings and designed two adapters ("Endstücke.stl") for it. On the not so often used end a M8 nut is screwed, the adapter is put on (see pictures) and locked with another nut. For optical reasons, an end cap is placed on this nut. On the other side, the end cap is placed on the threaded rod and a nut is pressed into the provided opening of the star grip. The star grip can be used to pull the entire holder together, thus setting the force required for unrolling. Nevertheless, the roll can still be changed easily. We have tested this construction for many months on bad gravel roads. It held everything wonderfully. <b>Check out my other designs for [expedition vehicles and camper vans](https://www.thingiverse.com/zefram_cochrane/collections/cochranes-expedition-vehicle "expedition vehicles and camper vans"). <b>Visit my website for more information: [www.science-feles.de](https://science-feles.de/designs/ "www.science-feles.de"). <b>I would be very happy about a [Tip](https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=33A3BXW43NW42 "Tip"). > --------------------------------------------------------- > Ceterum censeo martem esse abeundum. > ---------------------------------------------------------
