Hi, 
I've designed some mounting plates to mount Ephy's EZRip paper towel holder onto a Ikea Skadis board. 

There are 4 variants of mounting plates.

  • 2 mounting plates with 3 t-nut mounting holes, and
     
  • 2 mounting plates with 2 t-nut mounting holes (a bit less stable).  

Each of the mounting plates can be printed in a slimmer and a thicker version. 

The slimmer version is designed to use two M4 x 10mm connecting screws per plate, while the thicker variant uses two M4 x 15mm connecting screws per plate.

Meaning, to be able to properly mount the paper towel holder onto a Ikea Skadis board, you will need the following hardware in addition to the EZRip hardware:

  • 2 x printed mounting plates in equal thickness (they are rotateable, so there is no left or rigth side)
  • 4 or 6 x M2, M2,5 or M3 x 15mm screws for the t-nut mounting system (number of screws = 2 x number of t-nut mounting holes of mounting plate choosen; same for number of nuts)
  • 4 or 6 x M2, M2,5 or M3 t-nuts or printed t-nuts (e.g. these)
  • 4 x M4 x 10mm or M4 x 15mm screws (e.g. ball head)
  • 4 x M4 nuts

Tipps for installation:

  • Pre-assemble each side of the EZRip paper towel holder without the mounting plates attached. Already add the rubber bands.
  • Afterwards, install one mounting plate with inserted M4 nuts to the Skadis board and screw one side of the paper towel holder onto the board. 
  • Use the length of your paper towel to locate potential skadis holes to mount the other mounting plate to. Important: you can rotate one or both mounting plates to gain / lose some additional space. 
  • Install the second mounting plate to the Skdais board (also with M4 nuts inserted) and install the second pre-assembled half of the paper towel holder. 
  • To install a paper towel, simply take out one of the two rolls, add the paper towel and put the roll back.
  • To get the clamp tension right (so that you can rip paper towels single handedly), you might have to experiment with different rubber bands.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Original model cannot be mounted to a Ikea Skadis board.

This remix introduces mouting plates so that the paper towel hodler can be mounted to a Skadis board without damaging it.
