I was literally just thinking that I should do something about the request to make a paper towel holder for the wire shelves that my lovely spouse made when the Printables Paper Towel Holder mini-contest hit. So… here we are!
Most of the things that are designed for wire shelves don't seem to work for my set of wire shelves that I got from IKEA ages ago, which makes this a perfect opportunity for some OpenSCAD hackery. In my case, I designed it so that you don't need to find a center, just measure the distance between the two wires and then measure the size of the wire. There's also a mesh, but you don't want the mesh, you want the OpenSCAD version so you can crank out whatever dimensions you desire.
The paper towel holder threads in using a trapezoidal thread shape that seems, at least for me, to be a bit friendlier to print. And I gave it a fairly generous amount of slack so you don't need to be super-fiddly with your slicer settings (I just printed mine with the default settings on a 0.4mm nozzle)
This is designed for some M3 nuts and M3 socket-head screws. It's not overly sensitive about size but an M3x16mm has plenty of length.
Everything's symmetrical so you can make it lefty or righty depending on your needs.
This requires you to install the BOSL2 library and the OpenSCAD library for HSW attachments to work.
