Scotch tape dispenser with magnetic base and spindle.

Scotch tape dispenser with magnetic base and spindle using 12x3mm magnets. When printing this design, align the objects for minimal support by orienting them in a standard position or with the cutter facing upwards. You can purchase packs of 50 12x3mm magnets on Amazon for approximately $12. I attached pictures of one that I covered with wood veneer. The print was somewhat irregular, so the wooden covering helped salvage it from being discarded. To assemble the dispenser, I used fast-drying CA glue accompanied by an activator; however, a more suitable choice might have been a foamy adhesive like Gorilla Glue. I find the way the veneer covers the magnets on the bottom to be aesthetically pleasing - still sticking firmly onto the fridge. Pro-tip: Scotch tape does not adhere well to PLA plastic. To make it easier to remove tape pieces, apply a thin layer of super glue to the surface of the print at the lip where the tape meets the dispenser and let it dry until it becomes shiny.
