Description

This "magic" towel holder keeps your towels from ending up in a ball on your counter or hanging over the backs of chairs. The holders are pretty sleek and look cool in your kitchen/bathroom/wherever as well! You can mount it with 3M VHB mounting tape or similar.

Here is a video of it in use.

The very first one I ever saw was made by my grandpa in his workshop many decades ago. His was made out of wood.

The trick to the whole thing is a standard 5/8" glass marble that has been inserted into the model in the middle of the print. Simply pause the print after it reaches 29mm height (layer 193), drop in the marble, then resume. There are several ways to accomplish the pause, I'll leave that up to you (I use OctoPrint, it has worked out well for me. See this for more info: https://community.octoprint.org/t/better-pause-function-in-octoprint/5331)...

Print instructions

Print as is in the 3MF file, no support needed. PLA is fine. Print with the slot facing upwards. I always use 4 perimeters to make sure it has enough strength.

Pause the print after it reaches 29mm height (layer 193), drop in the marble, then resume. If you fail to do this, there will be no magic in the "Magic" Towel Holder...
