Soft Tape Measure Spool with lid - small and secure remix

thingiverse

This is a further adaptation to the "snap-in version" of the soft tape measure spool by taysoren that was a remix of 3DprintingMark's version to solve specific issues that these didn't quite address for my needs.I was tasked to make the spool fit in my wife's knitting accessories box, so the OD of this spool is quite small (40mm). The box has the height clearance, so I kept the rewind tab because I found this easier to use than the rewind finger hole. The inner spool core also has an integrated flanged lid to keep the tape from falling out if inverted.The diameter of the inner spool core was carefully sized to fit only the metal tab of the end of the tape (core diameter = metal tab length). My particular tape has a rivet in it that is wider than the metal tab, so the core and snap-in pin needed to accommodate that.The snap-in pin must align the slot with the inner spool core so the metal tab of the tape measure passes through both slots when assembled.The snap-in pin must be printed on it's side for rigidity. Tree/Organic supports used for the flanged lid of the core (but not the inside of the core that receives the snap-in pin) and supports used on the snap-in pin that is printed on its side.
