Tape Roll Holder

thingiverse

The desk where my 3d printer sits is getting pretty cluttered and space is at a premium because I'm constantly picking this roll of tape up and moving it around. To give it a better home I designed this holder which keeps everything organized. My first design was a fixed bar that went straight out but I knew right away that it wasn't the best idea since it would always be in the way even when there's no tape on it. So, I redesigned it with a hinge so when the tape is being used or stored elsewhere the holder can easily be moved to one side. Print Settings Printer Monoprice Dual Extrusion Rafts No Resolution Personal preference Infill 30% I print without supports as that's my go-to setting but I'm willing to admit that adding them might result in cleaner curves for the hinge which could be improved with some extra printing features. The hole on the hinge printed just fine but those helper disks did wonders for reducing warped prints even though it may not be entirely necessary
