IKEA Paper Tape Measure Spool
Print Profile(1)
Description
I find the IKEA paper tape measures very handy to have around. I checked out a few different models here on MakerWorld for storing them, but I had a few ideas on how I’d like to do it.
One of my main thoughts was that I didn’t want the spool diameter too small. This is so I could reduce the amount that the paper tape coils up after it is extended. I also wanted to grip the paper tape in the spool to make it easier to wind up. I also decided to pay homage to the IKEA workhorse SKADIS, with cutouts or indents in the cylinder wall mimicking its pattern. Only three parts, four if you go for the keychain version. I've also included cylinders that you can glue 6x2mm magnets in to make this model even more accessible. Happy printing!
