Rubik's Cube Themed Tape dispencer

thingiverse

This is a Rubik's Cube themed tape dispenser. We observed that normal rolls of tape fit snugly within a layer of a Rubik's Cube, suggesting that we could create a functional dispenser by making a hole in one of the edge pieces. So we did, and it works perfectly. The center features a large circular hole that serves as a holder, while the top comes off to allow for easy removal or insertion of the tape. A small slot at the top is designed specifically for a blade, which cannot be printed at school. WARNING: Be aware that the four prongs on the top piece may be too bulky and make it challenging to separate the two parts after assembly. I experienced this problem firsthand, and I strongly recommend sanding down these prongs before attempting to assemble the dispenser.

Lesson Plan and Activity: Recent analysis by Staples' finance department has revealed that sales of desktop organization products have declined in recent years. The company aims to boost profits in this area by enhancing the aesthetic appeal of these products. Your team of three has been hired to design a set of theme-based organizational products. Your task is to create a collection of office supplies tied together by a common theme, which you must be able to justify. The idea is that customers will not want to purchase just one product; they will want to buy the entire set.
