Description

A cute dinosaur that dispenses your tape! This is a completely rebuilt and improved version of my original design.

Improvements

Stronger - I improved the stability in some places where pieces could snap
More Sizes - Added a new size for 19mm wide tesa tape. Additionally the rebuild is a lot more parametric, making it easier for me to upload additional sizes if requested
Improve multi color printing for the eye - previously the first layer was not printed. The new design ensures a nicer surface finish!
Improved cutting mechanism - Actually 3 even. You have the choice between a printed plastic cutter, one cut from a sawblade and one salvaged from an existing tape dispenser (the last option currently is only for the 19mm wide tesa tape version)

I made two designs. One with spikes on its back and one without. Both designs have print profiles for either printing them with an AMS in multiple colors or just in a single color. Make sure to pick the right print profiles and STL files! The ones name `_multicolor` are obviously for multi color printing and the ones named `_single` are for single color printing.

Picking the right print profile and STL files

I split the print profiles by if they are multi color or not and by which cuter type is used. So first pick the print profile that has the cutter style you would like and uses the color style. Then within each print profile, all both designs (with and without spikes) are available in all sizes.

When in doubt, the printed plastic cutter is the easiest option!

Different Cutters

Printed Plastic Cutter

This one performes slightly better than the old design. The cutter is printed as a second part laying flat down. After it is printed, carefully insert it in the slot in the head of the dinosaur after you removed the support material from the channel in the head.

Sawblade Cutter

For this you need a blade from a hacksaw and some kind of multitool to cut the blade to length.

For this I also included a small “Safety holder”. The holder has a small slot that you can slot onto the blade and use as a reference for the size of the blade. Just cut it to the exact length of the holder. After that, carefully insert it in the slot in the head of the dinosaur after you removed the support material from the channel in the head. You can use the safety holder for this again to avoid cutting yourself.

Reused Tesa Dispenser Cutter

This cutter uses the metal part from the pictured tesa dispenser. It might also work with the metal cutters from other dispensers, if the metal part has a width of 21mm.

Simply open the two halves of the tesa dispenser and then you can easily slide out the cutter.

After that, carefully insert it in the slot in the head of the dinosaur after you removed the support material from the channel in the head.

I love this! Would it be possible to do a version where the spikes are printed separately, and either snapped on or glued on afterwards?

The designer has replied

@phillipth

I'll see if I can come up with a good way to make this work!

@OE3D

I'd add myself to that too. It's a huge waste with the AMS to print the spikes like that

Random black spot on the red spike, which caused unnecessary color change. Roll of tape is very hard to remove/replace after sliding it in.

@mipap

the black dot is your mistake not the model's

@CraftyPrincess

Replying to @mipap :

It's on the model's. Open the file from "Printed Plastic Cutter - Multicolor - 0.2mm layer" profile. Bottom left dinosaur has a black spot on the last spike. I didn't put it there, it's in the model file. Download it and check it for yourself.

The print came out great but unfortunately the printed plastic cutter does not work. You definitely need to use a metal one for daily use.

He printed OK, although I recommend finding something better for the cutter than the 3D printed blade which doesn't work for me. I also had a few issues with colour bleed and supports, but I think that was more on me than the model.

I printed the stegosaurus model. It's so cute - it really 'sold' the idea of 3D printing to my family. I have only one criticism and that concerns the amount of filament wasted in the form of printer poop. Ideally, the coloured 'spines' would be a separate part to clip or glue into place, I think.

Very nice and functional. I used wrong type of tape (slightly smaller hole diameter) and was not able to remove it without breaking the middle section. I managed to fix it with some super glue and all works fine. Just be cautious that you use the correct type of tape.

Lovely model, the surfaces could be a little more delicate. Unfortunately, the mount broke on mine, but that was probably due to the Silk filament

Super cute print! Just a note is to make sure to print the correct size. I printed the small one first not knowing. Oh well, I'll find a use for him. The blue one pictured is my second try, using the bigger size. I love it so far! The sawblade cuter print is definitely not perfect, but the description does mention how to sharpen the sawblade. I like the design option of using a metal blade too. Good options, and a great print overall!

I like it, but the plastic cutter does not work

The printed blades does not work at all. Made it a bit narrower to better suit my 11mm wide tape, and turned on ironing for the top layer. just for fun
