Summary

UPDATE: Originally uploaded new_bracket.stl had the wrong bolt spacing. Resolved now!

This is a remix/adapter for JCLprints' Paper Towel Roll Holder for Wire Rack: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4139556

This adapters switch the orientation of the rack rows to which the holder mounts by 90º so it can be mounted in a different direction.

Ordinarily, I'd edit the main mounts but I had already printed them before realizing my orientation problem and was too impatient to print them again, so if you didn't plan ahead and are as impatient as me - well, this is for you!

Pro-Tips

  • I ended up glueing the bracket to the full mounts for more stability
  • speaking of stability, the rack rod channels were allowing just a bit of wobble, so for stability, I added padding to the channels so, when bolted together, they compressed around the rails which damperred and secured it real nice. I happened to have a roll of 1/16" stick-on Neoprene from other projects that I sliced into small strips with an X-ACTO knife. Worked like a charm.
