Packing tape dispenser shield

thingiverse

This is a custom replacement part for plastic shields found on packaging tape dispensers, specifically designed for mounting above the blade. The initial design was created to replace a broken original that my coworker had damaged, marking the first 3D part I ever designed. By taking precise measurements from the broken shield, I was able to derive an accurate blueprint for this replacement component. It is crucial to note that before printing this part, you should rotate it 90 degrees in your slicer so that the layer lines of the filament align perpendicularly with the direction in which the shield will bend when used on a tape dispenser. If not done properly, there's a higher chance the piece could break under stress.
