Replacement core to tape dispenser. Tape Dispenser Insert.

The desktop tape dispenser relies on the 3M Plastic Replacement Core as a vital part, enabling it to function efficiently. To accommodate the replacement core's requirements, it needs to fit snugly within the dispenser's inner diameter, which is approximately 25 millimeters in circumference. Using Cura's slicer settings for support material creation proves crucial during the printing process. The print model requires the use of red ABS filament with an estimated weight of around two grams, sufficient to cover a complete layer and maintain the printer's mechanical properties at peak efficiency levels. During execution, precise control is needed to achieve an optimal layer height, recommended here as 0.2 millimeters for enhanced detail accuracy and surface smoothness in finished prints. Additionally, for added structural strength within internal layers of complex prints like the tape dispenser part being mentioned, it becomes highly necessary to utilize thick wall printing with values of around 0.4 millimeters consistently. Moreover, applying partial infill to the main part body of 35% allows the printer and core materials to meet a suitable balance between robust build performance under typical load requirements and minimization of unnecessary material use that adds unnecessary extra weight in end product units made via the three-dimensional manufacturing technique involved in Fused Deposition Modeling or rapid prototyping generally.
