TAPE DISPENSOR

thingiverse

TAPE DISPENSER FOR 3 INCH ROLLS, COMPLETE WITH ADJUSTABLE WIDTH SETTINGS THROUGH PIN HOLES FOR THINNESSES UNDER 1 INCH AND LESS THAN 2 INCHES TOO. IT IS DESIGNED TO ATTACH SECURELY TO YOUR BELT LOOP OR PANTS POCKET, ENSURING CONVENIENT ACCESS AT ALL TIMES. THE MINIATURE HOLES ALLOW A PIECE OF WIRE TO BE THREADED THROUGH FOR EXTRA ROLL RETENTION. ENGINEERING STUDIES INDICATE PET PLASTIC AS THE IDEAL MATERIAL FOR STRESS TOLERANCE, BUT 3D PRINTING CONSIDERATIONS SUCH AS INFILL AND LAYERING ARE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN THIS DESIGN.\r\n\r\nUPDATE 1: SUCCESSFUL PRINTING IN PLA AT 70% INFILL CONFIRMS ITS DURABILITY. THE CUTTING MECHANISM REQUIRES IMPROVEMENT, BUT YOU CAN MODERNIZE IT BY ATTACHING A PIECE FROM A TON FOIL DISPENSER OR PART OF A HACKSAW BLADE WITH ADHESIVE.
