The Ho-Ho-Holder (Toilet Roll Holder)

🎅 The Ho-Ho-Holder: Modular Christmas Toilet Roll (Paper) Storage

Bring some festive cheer to the smallest room in the house! This "Ho Ho Ho" toilet paper stand is the perfect functional holiday decoration.

🧩 Modular Design: Mini-Ready & Stronger

I designed this project to be modular for two simple reasons:

• A1 Mini Friendly: I own an A1 Mini. To enable the design to be printed, I specifically had to design it in a way where the parts could be split to fit comfortably on 180x180mm build plates without overcrowding.

   

• Structural Strength: This isn't just about size, it's about strength. We all know, toilet paper can weigh quite a bit! By separating the components, I was able to optimise the print orientation for each piece. This ensures the layer lines run along the load paths, making the final assembly significantly stronger than if it were printed as a single vertical piece.

   

•  Storage: The modularity also means you can disassemble it relatively flat for compact storage once the holidays are over, no bulky decorations taking up storage space!

⚙️ Print Settings & Assembly:

• Material: PLA+ recommended for strength & durability.
• Infill: Settings have been optimised to keep filament usage and cost low while maintaining strength and equal weight distribution.
• Assembly: Simple slot-in design. Print the "H" uprights and the holder slopes separately, then slide them together. No glue required.
• Customisable: You can print just an upper and bottom section to create a shorter "Ho-Ho" version if you are tight on space or low on filament.

🎨 Make it Your Own: Experiment with unique colours! While Red and White are classic, I bet this looks great in Green, Gold, or Silver.

⚠️ Note on Assembly: Two of my "H" parts printed perfectly, but I ran into a nozzle blockage on the final one that caused the slope slots to warp slightly. I fixed this easily with a few minutes sanding. This was likely an isolated glitch with my printer, but if you find the fit too tight, just lightly file the grooves until the parts slot together smoothly. Don't force it, the pieces should glide together with very little friction.
