IKEA Tisken paper towel roll mount

This is my project of paper towel roll hanger for IKEA Tisken suction cup mounts.

Created for COVID-19, we had to add more paper towels in our office without making any holes in walls.

This version is final, sort of - tested and used irl with 1.3kg roll, after a few less successful attempts :) . Printed with PET-G, 0.6 nozzle, 0.2 layer, 60-70% infill, no rafts, no brim; but this is simple enough to be printed from anything and still be strong and sturdy.

Tisken mounts have remarkably strong suction cups, but the plastic itself is not strong enough, hence backplate added - please mount it with proper screw for plastic instead of M3 bolt, the hole is square for a reason.

Tabs in bars are for a reason too, you can adjust the distance from the wall by lifting the axle part half height and sliding it, depending on roll diameter.

I have big enough bed, so i never bothered with making the axle from several parts and it is quite big to accommodate for larger rolls. If you can't print it, you can remix it yourself.

UPDATE: uploaded stronger axle part, i chaged it some time ago and it's a good time to share.
