Jumbo Toilet Paper Holder and Spacers

thingiverse

During the massive toilet paper shortage that gripped 2020, we snapped up industrial-sized toilet paper rolls that proved too large for our standard-issue toilet paper holder. Our trusty old toilet paper holder boasted a left and right fixture that securely attached to a bracket via a sturdy "set screw" at its base. I cleverly designed these brackets to easily slide down atop the existing wall brackets, taking into account individual results may vary significantly. The subsequent challenge was the spring-loaded roller bar, which proved minuscule in comparison to the substantial diameter of the center hole on the jumbo rolls of toilet paper. To address this issue, I devised spacers that screw together while allowing for the use of the existing spring-loaded roller. For the threads within the spacers, I drew inspiration from Engineering Aesthetics' ingenious threaded container design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2849870).
