Weighted countertop paper towel holder
A freestanding holder that dispenses a paper towel roll with one hand thanks to a tension arm resting on the roll. The spindle is 38 mm in diameter for a standard 40 mm core, 280 mm tall, and screws into a 180 mm base with a hollow cavity for sand or washers and a snap-in cover; the spring arm is a 2 mm flexible strip that bows against the roll. Walls are 2.5 mm with 4 mm fillets, and both parts print without supports.
Roll heights, core diameters and counter space vary, so SpeakCAD sizes the spindle and base to your rolls and your kitchen instead of a generic average. Preview the holder in the browser for free, swap the tension arm for a rear stop, and download the STL when it fits your counter.
