 A friend came to me with a problem. He remodeled his
bathroom and the ceramic toilet paper holder wasn’t made correctly and
the tube that holds the TP is too high and the roll hits the holder.
He was looking for a diamond
grinding bit so he could try to grind out some of the hole that the tube fits
in.
I felt that making a new “Toilet
Paper Holder Rod” was a better option:
I designed up a replacement
set of parts to replace the tube but re use the spring inside. The ends
are offset to lower the height of the tube by ¼”
To test the idea, I modified
the original tube design to make pieces to insert into the original tube
after cutting off the ends in the lathe.
This prototype was tested for
functionality then I printed out the complete parts.
