Tape Mount to collect printer debris

thingiverse

I'm fed up with bits of plastic cluttering everything around me. Either I miss the trash can and have to pick them up myself or there are multiple bits that need to be collected. This simple tool allows you to stick the bits to the tape as you go, right in front of the machine. It's proven very convenient for me. Now, this tool will hold any tape width up to 3.75 inches. So, if you're using 2 inch or even 1 inch wide tape, it still works for you. The smaller bits get stuck pretty well to the tape, so there's little chance of them getting knocked off. I showed how to remove the tape, but to install the tape, the process is exactly the same in reverse. Just keep the sticky side up and only the two ends adhere to the tool. I chose to use two Velcro tabs for mounting. This way you can mount it anywhere that's convenient for you. I like having it on the upper right frame of my printer, but you could also put it on the side or on your desk - just let your needs and imagination guide you.
