Trying it in everyday spaces.
Early units have been installed in a bathroom and kitchen at a friend’s home. Everyday use helps show what needs to improve.
BEHIND THE IDEA / WITH MIKE
100% Made in the USASmall idea.
Growing journey.
Follow RollPull from its early Kickstarter project to real-world testing, mounting improvements, and the next version.

Small batches.
New possibilities.
When I first came up with RollPull, 3-D printing wasn’t nearly as accessible as it is today. Now, the precision of 3-D printing lets me make parts in small batches without the upfront cost of expensive molds.
A mold may make sense one day as demand grows. For now, I’m using my 3-D printer to keep improving the design, produce small batches, and see how this new product fits the market.
DESIGN PROGRESS
Precise fit.
No glue needed.
RollPull has come a long way since the Kickstarter days. The updated parts fit precisely together without glue and can be easily taken apart and reassembled.
That makes mounting much easier: I can remove the inner tube while installing the mount, rather than work around it, then put everything back together afterward.
03 / WHERE IT IS TODAY
Test. Learn. Improve.
A better way to mount it.
The mounting design is being refined to make installation easier around sink plumbing.
