Equate 34oz or Target 32oz Hand Sanitizer holder - Anti-theft Wall Mount Remix - NEW VERSION

thingiverse

This is a revised anti-theft wall mount for my "Equate 34oz or Target 32oz Hand Sanitizer holder - Wall Mount Remix", available at the link below: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213018/files The bottle holder part remains identical to the original model, allowing it to be swapped with ease. This design aims to prevent casual theft by employing a spring-actuated locking mechanism that can be released using a small coin, such as a penny. To assemble this device, you will need a spring from a cheap click pen like one of these: https://www.amazon.com/BIC-Retractable-Medium-Point-24-Count/dp/B00H2H3C2W/ I specifically purchased springs on Ebay by searching for "spring spare ball pen part 424", which are used in retractable ball point pens. It is essential to wear eye protection when installing the spring. When assembling, note that the holes in the "pawls" should face upwards (not pictured). The cover will snap into place, but it needs to be secured with glue for a secure final assembly. I use Gorilla Superglue Gel for PLA and find it works well. It would be best to test fit everything first to ensure smooth movement. A penny is used to depress the "button", which will bring in the pawls, releasing the retainer, allowing the bottle to be removed. The parts are not oriented for printing (refer to the recommended orientation picture). A STEP file is included for easy remixing. If you create one of these devices, please post a make and share any feedback as a comment.
