Metric sized paint rollers are hard to come by in the US. Almost all of them are "3/8inch Nap". You need to cut the corners to free the main rollers. However even after that the main rollers are to small to fit onto the original thing.
This remix reduces the outer diameter to 11mm to make the rollers fit.
The roller I picked up at Lowes is "WHIZZ MICROLON Ceilings and Walls 2-Pack 4-in Mini Woven Synthetic Blend Paint Roller Cover". Walmart sells them too.
#### Required Items
1. MINI paint roller, (see above)
2. M6 x 12 Screw
3. M6 or large washer
#### Instructions for the Holder
1. Print the holder
2. Measure out the holder next to the roller to determine how much to cut.
3. Cut the roller with a metal hack saw. (see pics)
4. See the original thing for rest of the instructions.
