Gerti the Giraffe Paper Towel Holder

Gerti the Giraffe Paper Towel Holder 🦒🧻

🔧 Update – Stronger Tail: Thanks to a community report of a broken tail, we've reinforced it. The tail is now thicker, and the files include a modifier that prints it at 100% infill for extra strength.

Gerti stands tall on your kitchen counter and keeps your paper towels upright and in reach. Her hinged tail rests on the roll so it can't unravel on its own, and she stays put when you tear off a sheet.

✨ Choose Your Style:

• 🧻 125 mm version: For standard EU and AUS rolls
• 🧻 150 mm version: For big rolls, US sizes and Costco rolls
• 🖍️ Single color: Feet, snout, eyes and ear inserts clip in — the spots are hand-painted with brown acrylic paint
• 🎨 Multicolor: Print-in-place, no clip-in parts

😊 Why You'll Love It:

• 🦒 Tail brake: The weighted tail stops the roll from unraveling
• ⚖️ Fillable base: Fill it with sand, rice or sugar so it won't tip or slide
• 🌍 Fits rolls worldwide: EU, US, Costco and AUS sizes are all covered, and the head scales to your roll's core
• 🖨️ Single-color model: Prints on any machine
• 🎁 Great gift: A fun, useful present for giraffe fans and new homes
