Minimalist Sticky Notes Holder

Intro

A minimalist holder for 3"x3" pop-up Post-it® notes on any surface, always visible, always within reach. Mount it with a double-sided tape on a fridge, whiteboard, or wherever you need it.

Details

I use sticky notes and a marker on my kitchen fridge to jot down quick reminders, grocery lists, and notes. But I kept the notes on the counter, and they'd get ruined with coffee spills, cooking grease, sauce splatters, wet hands, etc. Sometimes they'd get knocked behind the counter and lost completely.

So, I designed this holder to move my sticky notes off the counter and onto the side of my fridge. It mounts to any surface with a double-sided tape: fridge doors, cabinet sides, walls, desks, whiteboards, or anywhere you need quick access. The holder also lets you pull a single note with one hand, no need to hold the stack down while peeling one off.

No more ruined notes or fishing them from behind the counter. Just pull, write, and stick it up. A small fix for an everyday annoyance.

Materials and Print Settings

I used Prusament Galaxy Black PLA for this print, even after almost 2 years of continuous use, the original PLA print is still holding up well. However, I acknowledge that printing it in PETG or another stronger material would be an even better choice to ensure long-term durability.

All recommended parameters and settings are saved in the provided .3mf file, but adjust as needed for your setup.
