Twista Roll - The end to over/under unraveling debates

thingiverse

Ever have one of those discussions about whether the roll is suppose to unravel over the top or underneath? Well, I had had heard enough of people trying to figure it out, so I came up with this. It allows you twist the roll to whatever position you like and then the spring inside pushes the clutch plates together to lock it... I had planned on Kickstartering it, but discovered I was about 9 years too late (Tilt-A-Roll)... the only real differences between his and my design is that I placed the clutch plate inside the housing and that with my design, you push the roll in towards the wall whereupon his seems to be pulled away.... So anyways, you'll need a small, slightly strong spring to place on the inside, between the wall plate and the "plunger". The parts with round holes are held together via pieces of filament glued and/or melted to the parts. You can buy the toilet paper holder (Spring loaded... you may have to twist it open and cut some of the spring off cause it's a bit strong) at the store for like $2. Since I'm certain that I can't patent something that is all too similar to another... I can at least give my design away for free :) Instructions ReplicatorG Skienforge (50) Slicing Profile: Replicator 2 Slicing Defaults (Infill_PerimeterOverlap(ratio): 0.3)
