A toilet paper holder that can be printed with no or very little support (just under the two bigger fillets of the side wall). Uses about 120g of materials and prints in about 7h using slow(ish) printing speeds, 0.6mm layer width, 0.28mm layer height and fuzzy skin.
It can hold a big roll of toilet paper and be affixed to a wall with screwes or double-sided tape.
Fuzzy skin improves the look drastically, in my opinion, as it doesn’t look like a printed part any longer. I used two modifier bodies in Prusa Slicer – a cylinder to remove fuzzy skin from the tube and a box to remove it from the backside (as it has to sit flush against the wall). The 3mf file has those modifications, so you can directly open it in Prusa Slicer. I also used a height modifier to give the left wall a little more inflill. PLA or another stiff material is a better choice than PETG, though both should work.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
