THIS DOES NOT FUNCTION THAT GREAT. PRINT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW IT WORKS. There is too much friction and needs a redesign with bearings or something similar.
Printed in PLA with 6 walls and 35-50% gyroid infill.
Ratchet allows 1 piece of paper towel to be taken at a time.
Springs allow holder to fit multiple sizes of paper towel roll.
Force of ratchet can be adjusted by cutting down the number of ratchet springs. The print starts with 6, I only use 1.
The whole assembly takes 400-600g of filament depending on settings.
Assembly
- Press heat 3mm heat insets into “PT-Holder-RatchetCover”.
- Use m3 bolts to bolt together the ratcheting section to the “PT-Holder-HangerSide”
- Attach “PT-Holder-HangerSide” and “PT-Holder-HangerTop” and use the plugs to make the connection secure.
- Wrap rubber or something grippy around the springs.
Current Problems:.
When the paper towel roll is mostly used it gets a lot harder to spin.
