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:
- The entry and exit sizes, as well as the progression of the taper, were adjusted to make the fold easier.
- The exit fold was lowered closer to the base to facilitate ironing.
- The base plate was removed for a sleeker aesthetic and to make storage easier.
- 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.
- 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.
