Description

Another tape measure spool.  This snap-together spinning tape measure spool has a spinning handle as well as the main spool section.

 

I recommend PETG or PETG-HF.  It may work but, I do not recommend PLA.  

If you want to print in PLA, and/or see the latest remix please see: 

 

Version 6 has been uploaded with a bigger crank handle and changed print orientation more suitable PLA (but recommend PETG) please find it here:

Previous UPDATE:

Now three different Print Profile versions uploaded for 17 mm or 20 mm wide tapes (20mm wide versions are available in Canada at Dollarama).

 

Version 5 

  • Covered spool section;
  • 2 options, with maximums of either:
    • 17mm; or 
    • 22 mm wide tape measures
  • PETG recommended

Version 4

  • for the larger 20 mm wide tapes
  • slightly thicker walls than version 3
  • PETG recommended

Version 3

  • the original build that was published to MakerWorld, 
  • 19mm high, or 22 mm high designed for 17 mm or 20 mm wide tapes respectively.  
  • These heights do not include the spinning handle.
  • Will probably fail in PLA, recommend PETG or stronger. 

All versions Snaps together (no glue), they have a spinning handle, no supports required to print,  If you only have PLA, please see the Version 6.

Version 3 (two sizes) thinnest walls, Print with PETG only.
My old tape measure was destined for the trash, but now it’s been repurposed—a truly eco-friendly outcome, thank you for this ingenious design🤩

Thank you for the kind review. Thank you for the picture! I see you printed the older version (3), there is version 4 that has slightly thicker exterior walls, and smoother ends where the tape might rub on them, if you are interested. Thanks to you, I realized that I put the versions in the wrong order in the Print Profiles on this site so, I have made that change. Thank you.

Many thanks for the swift implementation of the individual 19mm variant It looks fantastic and works perfectly I’m giving it a BOOST :) Here’s a before/after comparison Before it lay haphazardly in the drawer, now it’s neatly rolled up 👍🏾
