Customizable Flat Duct Tape Reel

Duct Tape Hero - Bring It Wherever You Go! Leave your house without this little guy, and you might just get stuck! But, what if we told you that carrying a roll of duct tape could be ridiculously convenient? This clever creation lets you store a length of duct tape in an inconspicuous space. No more struggling to squeeze it into pockets, bags or purses. Simply print out this tiny treasure, wind some duct tape around it, and you're ready to tackle any unexpected situation that comes your way! This nifty holder can be tailored to fit various roll dimensions: the width of the tape, reel length, and even thickness. Plus, you can opt for a single, more substantial piece or print it as two halves with adjustable clearance gaps. If they don't quite fit together perfectly, fear not! The duct tape will easily hold them in place. Print Details: * Printer: Choose from various models (let's say our CTC clone works wonders!) * Rafts: You won't need these - but if you do, this holder is ready! * Supports: Another option we'll happily forgo. * Resolution: We opt for a smooth 0.2mm layer height * Infill: Let's go with a modest 15% for added strength Printer Tips: You might wonder when to use supports... Easy answer: probably never! Printing the two halves requires no support structures, saving you some time. Printing a single piece will likely need it - but that's uncharted territory for me. Emergency Essentials! When done printing, remember this simple trick: tuck the end of the tape under itself, and it'll be easy to grab in a pinch!
