Material Roll Holder with Cutter for Convenient Mounting

thingiverse

Human: Not only does this incredible material holder enable effortless tearing of tin foil, wax paper, or plastic wrap, but it mounts perfectly on the back of a cabinet door or your pantry door! It even works when mounted vertically or horizontally. You can easily attach it with Command strips for a mess-free installation or drill into the wall if you prefer using short screws. Assembly is surprisingly simple: just load a new roll onto the holder. Remove the rubber bands from the supporting rod, place them around the protruding arm, and hook them back up. Pull some material over the cutter rod, then reinsert the material tension rod by pushing it into the right hole and firmly pressing it into the open slot. That's it! To build this amazing holder, you'll need to print three roll cutters and some special components. Each cutter piece is only 4 inches long to fit most machines, and you'll also need a 3/8-inch dowel rod, six wood screws, two rubber bands, and two Command strips for easy mounting. The roll cutter was a particular challenge due to its design complexity, so I printed it at a low layer height. However, I took extra precautions by checking the extruder path beforehand to ensure a smooth, sharp edge. Initial assembly is also straightforward, with pictures providing clear guidance. Simply screw the roll cutters into one of the dowel rods and wrap the rubber bands around the end pieces. With both end pieces securely attached, place them onto the cutter rod and orient it for your preferred cutting angle. Then, place the material roll onto the holder and unhook the rubber bands. Finally, pull some material forward and over the cutter rod to complete the assembly! With its stable design, you can confidently cut various materials with precision. This innovative project is perfect for any 3D printing enthusiast or homeowner looking for a reliable solution for managing household items.
