I found the best way to mount my hue sensors is in the ceiling corners, but the included screws and magnet do not make this possible, so I made this minimalist and elegant mount which makes it easy to mount the sensor in the corner of the ceiling at 45° horizontally and 30° vertically using only the included screws and magnet. I recommend printing with the seams on the back for a near-perfect finish.  <figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/_sLAbmsDr1c"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_sLAbmsDr1c" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure> For tricky corners where there's small gap between the sides and the ceiling, I made an adapter that snaps right onto the mount: <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/139504#profileId-152029" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/139504#profileId-152029</a>  Want to mount the sensor in the ceiling, but not in a corner?

UPDATE: Per requests in the comments, I've added a way to add weight to the Hex Paper Towel holder if you find it necessary. You do NOT need to reprint the paper towel holder itself. Simply print the “Hex Paper Towel Holder Plug” profile, fill the hollow portion of the paper towel base with sand/dirt/or weighted material of your choice and press fit the plug into the hollow hole in the base(I was able to add 150 grams of sand to mine). Make sure you leave enough room to push the plug down far enough to sit flat. I've included a small grip on the plug for ease of guidance, as well as removal with pliers if you ever feel the need. From my testing it does not need glue, but if you want it 100% permanent, please add a dab to the sides of the plug before inserting. Pictured below is the plug assembly,<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/381832/2023-12-16_d456b79522b16.png"></figure><ul><li>This is a beautiful, functional, low filament using paper towel holder I designed for my own home. Using hexagons I've made this paper towel holder both strong and light using only 135 grams of filament and NO supports!</li></ul>&nbsp;<ul><li>Specifically sized to be printable on the A1 Mini!</li></ul>&nbsp;<ul><li>Keep in mind this model is again, light, so you may need to hold it while removing a paper towel. However, I found with even my own metal holder at home I still had to do that 90% of the time, so the filament savings seemed like a worthy trade off.</li></ul>&nbsp;<ul><li>This paper towel holder should fit most small to large rolls (though I've only tested a few I have access to)</li></ul>&nbsp;<ul><li>I've included both Default Speeds and Normal profiles as my testing with PLA at Default Speed settings was great, but if you want to print in PETG it can have flow issues, so just make sure your flow rates are tuned if using the fast profile. I strongly urge you to use the normal profile if you are unsure of your flow rates. I do not have a tuned profile for A1 mini, but I've included a fast profile that should work fine as long as your flow rates are tuned. Please let me know if you have any issues with it (I printed both the fast and normal profiles a total of 5 times each, but your experience matters!) and feel free to upload your own A1 profiles!</li></ul>&nbsp;<ul><li>If you enjoy this model please toss it a like!</li></ul>&nbsp;&nbsp;
