Modular Vinyl or Paper Roll Holder - Cricut Siser

This is a modular system to hold rolls of vinyl, paper, or any other item that comes in rolls.  I designed this for someone that recently got a Cricut Explorer and was looking for ideas to organize the vinyl rolls they had.  Online options were kinda expensive for what they are and the print files I found online were mostly static 3 x 3 or 2 x 4 rigid blocks without any expand-ability.

 

This is a compete set made to size up however you want.  There are a total of 5 main parts with multiple variations each on their own plate:

• Standard Holder: 2" diameter to fit the standard Cricut vinyl rolls
  • Standard Holder - Compact: A compact version with a little less material
• Large Holder: 2.5" diameter for larger material rolls.  Also easier for opened rolls that have unraveled a bit.
  • Larger Holder - Compact: A compact version with a little less material
• Short Fastener: To connect between each holder
  • Short Fastener - Loose: Same connector with a little more play.  Use these if you have trouble getting the standard ones on and off
• Long Fastener: To connect between row of holders
  • Long Fastener - Double: Connects between row of holders on both top and bottom for extra stability.  Use when you have 4 or more rows or just want it to be more sturdy
  • Long Fastener - Thicker: Extra material for making it stiffer, best for the base
• Long Fastener with Center: Same as above but for another row of holders in the center so you can have three rows of fasteners
  • Long Fastener with Center - Double: Connects between 3 rows of holders on both top and bottom for extra stability
  • Long Fastener with Center - Thicker:  Extra material for making it stiffer, best for the base

The fasteners hold enough to not come loose but still snap in and out relatively easily.  The holders were all designed with a couple extra fillets to eliminate overhangs so no support should be needed.  I also tried to optimize them as much as possible while still being sturdy, the Standard Compact holder is what is pictured and comes in at just under 15g of filament each.  Also everything scales well if you are looking to make something bigger or smaller, just scale each part equally and it should all fit together correctly.

 

The more long fasteners used the more rigid the structure is, the less used and the more play there will be.  Since the filament usage is overall low I recommend using as many long connectors as possible for the least amount of movement.  The difference between wiggle and sturdy for a standard 3 x 3 grid is like 50g of extra filament so it's usually worth it.
