I used a simple project dowel I bought at a hobby store, but a PVC pipe or anything long enough and less than or equal to 1 inch round will work (sorry for the imperial units).
**This is two unique parts that are mirrored, don't just print one of them twice.
I've sized the back of it to use command strips as the wall mounting mechanism. As long as your dowel is long enough to go through the paper towel roll, you can use that length to attach the mounts to the wall with perfect spacing. No measuring needed!
