MakerSL / Openbuilds Laser Cut Tape Dispenser

thingiverse

This is a simple Laser Cut Tape Dispenser. The design was inspired by this little beauty...and it was scaled for a roll of Staples 3/4" x 1296' tape. The inspiration came from a source that showcases the most advanced Scotch Tape Dispenser in the world: http://acuteaero.com/2010/06/03/the-most-advanced-scotch-tape-dispenser-in-the-world/ It is assembled with ten Openbuilds Low Profile M5 x 10 SHCS. The spacers can also be made from OB supplies, stacking various lengths together until a total length of 22mm is reached. Laser cut parts: DXF files are provided, and there are no logos in place. If you can cut or engrave acrylic, you can add your own logo. You can order custom-made acrylic parts by contacting me through my website: http://makersl.com/ Printer parts: These parts were made from ABS and will require tapping (M5). The holes in the parts were modeled at 4.5mm, but I prefer to run a 4.5mm (.177") drill through them before tapping. Assembly is straightforward... Note: I have provided STL files for the Sides, the Cutter or the Spindle Caps. However, I think these are best done in acrylic. If they were fully printed, it would lose its appeal. A transparent filament might work nicely. This entire project was done using Onshape, a "view only" file is linked below: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3f43e0c3895f16fa00ec39bd Print Settings: Printer: MakerSL Custom FT 2020 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .200 Infill: 25% Notes: Rotate as required to print spacer and spindle vertically. Print all other parts flat.
