Description

I designed this tape dispenser for fun. The main idea was making a tape dispenser less boring. This dispenser should fit a lot of tapes.

  • 3" (76.2mm) is standard for painters/masking tape.
  • The 3" wheel fit all of the masking tape rolls I found in my house
  • 1" (25.4) is standard for normal clear office tape.
  • The 1" wheel has a slight taper to snugly fit most rolls as they tend to vary.
  • In my experience the current cutter design works best with opaque tapes. clear tapes tend to slip.

I have taken clearances into consideration and there should be enough gap between all parts to properly assemble. I have also printed the tape holders and they fit my tapes. The cutter also cuts my paper and opaque tapes, but has issues with clear tape. You can easily design your own cutter and swap it. See what works. It might also be an option to use a file to sharpen the edges (which is what I did) or bend a piece of metal with teeth.

If there are any issues with this print, let me know and I will attempt to fix them.

 

The shells of the snail are intended to be glued to the body. The pin for the wheel and the cutting blade should be removable. If the cutter or pin fail, they are very cheap to print again.

As soon as I saw this model, I knew exactly what I needed to do. I needed to make a giant tape dispensing snail companion for my tiny, non-tape dispensing snail Sylvanian. Great success!

Printed great, the cutter is good enough for the opaque tape we use.

Thank you! the cutter also works for my opaque tape. I did file the teeth with a file to make it a bit easier.

Printed great but I've had to use my own cutter as the included one wouldn't cut sellotape.

can you please create the file for the 1" on a Bambu A1? all I see for that printer is the 3".

Hi, it should work for the A1, but MakerWorld can't seem to understand that. Please download the profile and switch your printer to the A1 in Bambu Studio.

Replying to @Zwamdurkel :
OK, thank you. also, I just realized I forgot to say it's the a1 mini, not just the a1. not sure if that would make a difference or not

Replying to @Sleven :
That does make a difference since the mini has a much smaller build plate. I suggest you arrange the parts on two separate plates manually in Bambu Studio. Just add a new plate and drag one collection of same colored items over.
