A few notes on 3D printing a large tape dispenser (versus just buying one) including an innovative serrated edge!

@rasterweb @[email protected] That serrated edge really is quite clever!

Nice!
I’ve been saving one of those serrated strips to make my own tape dispenser. I was planning on having a compartment to add in a bunch of lead fishing weights.
@NedMan @[email protected] Yeah, I'll experiment with some weight ideas. I've got concrete around and cast things occasionally so maybe I'll try that.
@rasterweb @3dprinting I've been looking for something to base a multiple-width Kapton tape dispenser off of and this looks great! I couldn't really find anything off the shelf that seems like it'd work well enough.
@polpo @[email protected] It's a really nice modular design... I just need to solve the weight/shifting issue.

If you had some tape you could tape it to your desk through the holes.

That was a nice read. Thanks.

@rasterweb @stevegenoud @3dprinting Great idea to use the foil cutting edge. I think I’ll print one of these when I’m back home 👍
