Kitchen paper towels dispenser box

thingiverse

The remarkably straightforward design of the paper towel dispenser is truly impressive. Its purpose is to provide a clear view of how many towels are left inside by means of a freehand "zigzag" hole in the door. Initially, the idea was to fill this void with a transparent material, but I encountered a problem with my Cura settings when attempting to print 100% filling. Instead of producing a perfectly transparent result, it yielded a crossing pattern with tiny gaps, far from transparent. After switching to 0% filling, the issue persisted, and a small amount of pattern remained, roughly equivalent to 1 or 2%. This still failed to produce transparency, so I abandoned my efforts to play around with these settings and left the zigzag hole unfilled for now, as evident in the accompanying photos. Perhaps once I resolve this issue, I will attempt to print new filling. The box is available in two versions due to its larger size than that of most printers (approximately 220x220mm). To accommodate this, I split it into halves and created a separate file for each half. For those with more extensive printing capabilities, there's also a FULL version. Two 5x5mm round neodymium magnets secure the door in place, as you may have noticed the holes in both door and box corners. Another option is the version of the door without the zigzag hole, giving users the freedom to add their own design or none at all. I suggest drilling small holes into the door axles and inserting a screw or tiny metal rod to keep the door firmly in place when opened. This customization is entirely up to individual preference. Mounting brackets, holes for screws, or any additional features were intentionally omitted, leaving it to users to decide where and how to mount their paper towel dispenser. The box's wall thickness should be sufficient to hold it with two or four screws on the top or rear wall, making adjustments a straightforward process.
