Hand Towel Rack

Hand Towel Rack

This stylish rack can hold a hand towel beside your sink for easy hand-drying. It includes a base with interior slots in which you can add wheel-balancing weights to make it heavier, and small holes in which you can stick cabinet bumpers to make the bottom surface non-skid.

How to Print

This rack consists of five printable parts: 

1. The Base
   This should be printed with the four small holes facing upwards. Slice the model with a pause added right before the interior slots are covered so you can add some wheel-balancing weights to make the base heavier, if you desire. There are four holes on the top into which you can put cabinet door bumper stickers to make it a non-skid surface. 
   
   I printed with 33% infill with seven-gram weights inserted, and the rack is fully stable.
    
2. The Arms
   Print two of the arms using relatively light infill. Both the left and right arm are the same model. I used 8% infill to keep the arms light relative to the base.
    
3. The Top Rack
   I printed using a wood-fill PLA to give the rack a more organic feel. Also a light 8% infill.
    
4. The Pegs
   To help ensure the top remains firmly fixed to the arms, print two hexagonal pegs; they have some clearance to them, so I recommend gluing them in place.

Assembly

Pause printing the base right before the interior slots are covered if you'd like to insert some wheel-balancing weights to make it heavier.

The arms should fit snugly into the base, but you may also use glue.

The top attaches to the arms with hexagonal pegs, and I strongly recommend gluing it in place to make it extra secure.
