Tape Measure Winder

prusaprinters

<p>My wife has a thin flexible tape measure she keeps with her knitting stuff. After watching her winding it up to put with her things, I suggested a small winder for it. A few minutes with OpenSCAD and I had a design. Luckily, the first print worked out great!</p> <p>The parts don't snap together, which would be a nice touch. Also, for extra awesome points, it should really have some planetary gears so that a single rotation of the winder would be like 27 rotations of the inside core.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: tape measure</p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <ol> <li>Print both parts</li> <li>Put winder inside the holder, it should rotate freely</li> <li>Feed tape through slot in holder</li> <li>Slot the end of the tape into the winder's core</li> <li>Rotate winder to roll up tape measure</li> </ol>
