This is a very simple adjustable width napkin holder. That is, it can expand or contract to hold more or less napkins as needed. It prints as is, without any supports, and it assembles easily as shown.
This design was inspired partially by Zydac's Extendable Napkin Holder. This model is a bit simpler and should also prove easier to print. Each half is 125mm (~5in) wide, 125mm (~5in) tall, and 60mm (~2.5in) long. Thus the holder can extend from around 50mm wide to almost twice that, ~95mm wide.
The model is designed without tolerances for a snug fit. As such, it can be a bad idea to slide the holder all the way together, as it may be difficult to reopen. If this happens, you may use a butter knife to slide between the cracks and loosen things up a bit until you can get a good enough grip to pull the pieces apart without breaking them.
