Toilet Paper Protector (from kittens)

cults3d

We just adopted four kittens and of course they play with everything, including destroying entire rolls of toilet paper. Just turning the roll around (to "underhand") wasn't enough so I created this. I didn't like how other versions had a lot of assembly, or had complicated mechanisms. Ultimately I did make one with two parts that need to be glued/welded together, but it's worth it. I was worried at first that the kittens would still destroy it from the top (standing on the toilet for access) but that just hasn't happened. If the tail of the roll is hanging down they go after it, but it's easy to make sure it's tucked when you're done. This was designed to exactly accommodate Trader Joe's toilet paper, which is 106mm wide and 110mm across (diameter), with a 45mm hole. I print the pieces separately on my New Matter mod-t, then weld with dichloromethane. I'm sure superglue would work too.
