Imagine this: Alone at home, sitting on a porcelain throne and about to leave the bathroom, you instinctively reach out to grab some toilet paper—only to find the roll completely empty. Slowly, you turn your head. Could it be? You’ve actually run out of toilet paper? What should you do now?
Teepee ensures that this situation will never happen again. With its modular stacking system, the number of rolls of paper you can store is only limited by the ceiling height. You can use two Teepee configurations: one with a container at the bottom for storing rolls of paper; the other with a dispenser and a rod for each roll of paper, making it a regular toilet paper holder. When the roll of paper is used up, it can automatically "pop out", allowing the next full roll of paper to be automatically rolled into the dispenser.
This system should be applicable to 99% of toilet paper rolls. However, I have included the f3d file in case the size needs to be adjusted. You can also directly enlarge the model, and the effect should be just as good.
Printing and assembly:
Printing requires a small amount of support to support the bottom of each right-angle component. If you choose not to separate the curved parts, you will also need to support the curved parts.
As for assembly, any strong glue will do, or alternatively, you can spot-weld the parts together. To fix the entire device to the wall, I recommend using tape or some kind of adhesive to avoid drilling holes in the wall.
I also included a test print, because the entire project requires a large amount of consumables. Therefore, it's best to ensure that every component can be assembled correctly before printing the entire work.
Remark:
The dispenser with a pop-up system is still quite complex, depending on the specifications of the toilet paper roll. I'm working on improving a more stable version, but for now, I suggest printing both the container and the dispenser to see which one suits you better. As always, feel free to modify the model as needed, and I can provide any additional files if required.
To use the pop-up system, you must print a rod for each roll of paper you want to use and slide them into the holder. This ensures that each new roll of paper can rotate freely in the dispenser.
Did this design change your life?
Please consider buying me a cup of coffee—I'm a student, and I'd really appreciate any support :)
