Description

Following on the previous generation of metric bias tape makers (https://www.printables.com/model/1093609-sewing-bias-tape-maker-metric), I made a few design adjustments:

  1. The entry and exit sizes, as well as the progression of the taper, were adjusted to make the fold easier.
  2. The exit fold was lowered closer to the base to facilitate ironing.
  3. The base plate was removed for a sleeker aesthetic and to make storage easier.
  4. The guide slot (to push the tape through) was relocated to the base, allowing it to progress further along the tool and making tape feeding easier.
  5. The size label was enlarged, and the typeface was changed to Roboto for both legibility and aesthetic reasons. The emboss was changed to a deboss.

Additionally, the smallest 1/4" tape maker was independently redesigned to function effectively at that size.

Supports: None (it should be oriented vertically on the bed)
