- throwaway0665 1y agoWow this is amazing.
- ffsm8 1y agoWhy do people want to reuse toilet paper rolls? Paper is not a hygienic material, and these are used in a place that's rife with bacteria...
- VBprogrammer 1y agoIf you are worried about this you might want to consider whether you have a healthy degree of concern about hygiene and bacteria. It could be worth speaking with a therapist.
- Gigachad 1y agoIf the bacteria on toilet rolls was an actual problem, toothbrushes would be a much bigger issue than storage tubs.
- Nullabillity 1y agoUsually you don't use your toothbrush while fondling your genitals...
- IlikeKitties 1y agoYou don't know what you are missing but to each their own i guess.
- speedbird 1y agoGot a proper chuckle, TU
- yapyap 1y ago… do you.. use a toilet paper roll for that?
- malfist 1y agoModified wooden toilet roller? Wow. Just wow. I think maybe I've been on fark too long. https://m.fark.com/comments/6611712/Woman-discovers-boyfriend-is-actually-lesbian-sex-offender-Awkward-wpics https://m.fark.com/comments/6611712/Woman-discovers-boyfrien...
- Nullabillity 1y ago..how else would you possibly wipe them?

- eloisant 1y agoThere are way more bacteria in your mouth than on your genitals
- dotancohen 1y agoThere is an equal amount of bacteria in your mouth and on my genitals.
- dotancohen 1y agoI feel like invoking the zeroth law of thermodynamics here.
- gavmor 1y agoI am not personally turned off by the hygiene of toilet paper rolls, but I think any rational adult's Overton Window should accommodate those who are. Your condescension is grossly unwarranted. You don't have to be Adrian Monk to recognize that toilets are unsanitary.
- ffsm8 1y agoEh, it got a chuckle and eye roll outta me so I didn't mind. And fwiw, I don't really care either wherever people use them for whatever they want, I am just still confused why people would want to use paper (sourced from leftover toilet utensils), which is notorious for being basically un-cleanable... as food storage, but to each their own. I'm surprised how many people hate me for such (imo) mellow statement though
- sarchertech 1y agoI definitely wouldn’t want to he any kind of un-cleanable surface as long term food storage. But I don’t think most people are using gridfinity as food storage.
- ffsm8 1y agoI just contextualized it around food storage too, as jot's link has pictures of such (the comment that started this thread). But the article/video we're commenting on doesn't do so, so that's fair I guess?
- function_seven 1y agoThis isn't a food storage thing, but I think I see where you got that idea from the photos in the link. He's showing the types of paperboard that work with his system. Old cereal boxes, coffee filter boxes, etc.
- Spunkie 1y ago> notorious for being basically un-cleanable I don't really think anyone other than OCD/germaphobes thinks about toilet paper rolls in that way and it's certainly not "notorious". I'm pretty sure the general sentiment is that it's a perfectly benign material, often given to kids to play and craft with. The same thing happened with that episode of mythbusters about the toilet ploom from flushing. A bunch of OCD/germaphobes lost their minds and have not stopped thinking about it since. Meanwhile the rest of society gave a collective shrug and couldn't even be bothered to move their toothbrush brush to another room or close the toilet lid while flushing.
- bjackman 1y agoIIUC this is also true of most 3D-print materials. You should not be using Gridfinity to store food! This is also why you usually shouldn't 3D print a dildo. This would be true even if the materials were food safe to be honest, I don't see how you can keep something like this clean. It's for storing stuff like capacitors and screws and electrical tape.
- lrvick 1y agoBut, importantly, you can 3D print a dildo mold.
- bobsmooth 1y agoThe layer lines will show up in the silicone.
- cassianoleal 1y agoThat’s called ribbing and it’s a feature.
- peterpost2 1y agoYou could lightly sand it before using it as mold, would lessen that issue.
- lrvick 1y agoOr a little bit of alcohol vapor smoothing if you print the mold with ASA

- diggan 1y ago> Why do people want to reuse toilet paper rolls? Because some of us have like 200 cables, and toilet paper rolls is a cheap but effective way of getting some control over these :) And besides, I'm sure that my fingers and feet are more dirty when I touch/move any of the cables, than the toilet paper rolls that spent a couple of days in a bathroom.
- cassianoleal 1y agoYou go through a roll in a couple days?
- nython 1y agoStore your food in PLA containers and you can too
- diggan 1y agoI'm not sure if you're trying to say that's a lot or little? But yeah, each roll might survive 3-4 days at most I'd guess, but honestly can't say I've ever measured. We're two people (me and my wife) in the household fwiw.
- Faaak 1y agoIt las us (household of two also) at least a week. I've found out in the past that I used way too much out of habit. Also for some reason triple ply needs less paper
- cassianoleal 1y agoFeels like a lot. Even 3-4 days does. I'm not judging though! In my household with 3 adults, we go through maybe a roll every 2 weeks or so. It's almost exclusively used for number 2 business though, so maybe that accounts for some of that difference. Or, we just use very different types of paper, and yours require more of it for the same effect. :)
- mrbigbob 1y agomight i suggest purchasing a bidet. you can get one for less than $50 on amazon and it will help you dramatically cut down on toilet paper. it also makes you feel so much cleaner. my two cents
- therealpygon 1y agoYou mean like a phone, that you later stick up to your face? I’m sure someone will chime in with how they “never use their phone in the bathroom”, which no one will believe.
- allknowingfrog 1y agoI worry about the digestive health of people who use phones in the bathroom. I go in there for a specific job, which I focus on until completion. I never get bored enough to start looking for other things to do.
- bluGill 1y agoReduce reuse recycle. They are looking for a step two- hopefully they already have bidet, but paper is still useful for drying after.
- linsomniac 1y agoMaybe paper towel rolls then?
- highcountess 1y agoThat is a great improvement, but best would be a combination of both designs, the former adding the "finder shelf that can also serve for labeling, and the slopped bottom that allows scooping out individual pieces. Another improvement may be to make the top and bottom pieces stackable along with the snapping grid system compatibility.
- zefhous 1y agoNot gridfinity compatible, but I have a set of corner pieces that uses a similar concept. The majority of the material can be scrap acrylic, mdf, cardboard, etc. and you just print the corner pieces. Lids and stuff too. https://www.printables.com/model/57813-boxkit-parts-for-making-custom-boxes-trays-and-bin https://www.printables.com/model/57813-boxkit-parts-for-maki... 3d printing is great, but a lot of wasted plastic if you print large organizers and stuff like that.
