Casey - SMT parts holder

thingiverse

Casey is a handy surface mount parts holder and dispenser for components on cut tape. Casey has some helpful features: * Created in OpenSCAD so that it can be parametrically modified. I've included `3mf` files for cassettes that can accommodate tape widths up to 8mm (0603), 10mm (0805), and 13mm (TSSOP16). * A small 3d-printed "spring" in the exit opening hold the tape in place and prevents them accidentally falling out. * The bump on the top is a catch for the film on the tape. Thread it through there and it'll stay out of your way as you use your parts. The top of it has a small opening, allowing you to easily slide the film in. * The open side has a small lip to prevent the parts from falling out during handling. * You can optionally attach multiple cassettes to each other using magnets. There's matching interlocks on the bottom to keep everything aligned. * There are slots on the bottom that you can use to mount a cassette to a fixed surface using two M3 bolts. * Designed to use a minimal amount of filament, only takes about 1 hour to print. * Optional, but delightfully cute cat-faced front cap design.
