Multiple Tape Dispenser (Distributeur d'adhésifs multi-formats)

thingiverse

I made this dispenser to avoid having to use two hands to pull the tapes and cut them properly. At first, it was designed for one type of tape, but I eventually added more types. As it is now, this dispenser can hold four different sizes: 1. 19 mm 2. 25 mm 3. 35 mm 4. 50 mm All of these sizes have a standard 76mm support (mandrel) and a maximum diameter of 130mm for the tape roll. To be useful, you'll need to add lead or another heavy metal to the bottom part (called "bac à plomb"). You can use approximately 1.5 kg, but I've found that 3.2 kg works well in practice. To build your own dispenser, you'll need to print: 1. Left Holder (Flanc gauche.stl) 2. Right Holder (Flanc droit.stl) 3. Bottom part (Bac à plomb.stl) 4. Five Separators (Séparateur.stl) to avoid contact between two rolls 5. Eight Half supports (demi mandrin.stl) 6. Blade holder (Barre avant.stl) 7. Blade (Lame.stl) I added three spacers that can be positioned on the M6 rod, between half supports, to ensure the half support doesn't move. Make it fun! The screws on the blade were a problem, as they didn't touch the tape correctly. So I decided to change the design of the blade (4mm thickness instead of 2 mm) and add holes to keep the screw heads under the surface of the blade. You can find the new STL file: (Lame V2.stl) in the thing files.
