Multi-Roll Sanding Pack Holder by jjjp423

This hardware is designed specifically to hold and dispense the Rockler Woodturner's Multi Sanding Roll Pack - https://www.rockler.com/woodturners-multi-roll-sanding-pack?country=US&sid=V91040&promo=shopping
Although it was designed for this product, I expect it could be used to hold tape or any other similar rolled product.
Print Orientation:
All of the STL files should be in the print orientation that worked for me by default
Supplies:
A. CA glue and Activator
B. 5"x9"x3/4" wood board
Hardware:
C. 2x 608-2RS Bearing
D. 4x 1 1/4 Kreg Pocket Screw (I had these on hand, similar screws would work too. The length is so it can attach to a 3/4 piece of wood)
E. 1x Coping Saw Blade (I was lazy the with cutting mechanism, this works well enough for now and I had an old one around, I bet any other type of fine tooth blade may work as well)
Assembly:
I used CA glue and activator spray to assemble the 3d printed parts where needed. Be careful using glue on the bearings so you don't accidentally lock them up and make them useless.

The Through Bearing Anchor gets carefully glued to the inner ring of the bearing.


The Sanding Roll Insert gets glued onto the cardboard tube that comes in the packaging (This holder may be able to be made longer with a longer tube, although I don't know how much weight the hardware can handle)


The Bearing+Insert assembly gets glued into the sanding roll insert, with the Through Bearing Anchor sticking out of the tube.


If the peg sticking out moves freely repeat this step with the 2nd set on the other side.


Figuring out where to attach Mount R and Mount L can be done by placing the Through Bearing Insert Pegs into the slots on the Mounts, Then squaring them up on whatever you are attaching them to. You could take measurements to figure our where to attach everything, but this was easier for me. Depending on what type of wood you attach it to, you may or may not need to predrill the holes to get a nice tight fit. I did, but I was attaching to a scrap piece or red oak which is quite dense.

Final step is to put your rolls on and attach the coping saw blade to the bottom of the board. I used CA glue because it was quick and easy, and I didn't want to design and print another piece. I'm sure this could be improved upon, If I end up doing that I will update the design to include that.
Additional:
I cut out the piece of the packaging that displayed the grits and ca glued it up to the top. I would suggest this, but not necessary. I also saved the cardboard spacers from the box to keep the rolls from overlapping, would definitely suggest doing this too.
