Description
Clicking on a letter will take you to the page for that design.
While there are various tape dispensers for 3D printing, I propose a completely innovative and practical dispenser that stands apart from the others. And its name is 'TAPESY.'
'TAPESY' is a combination of 'TAPE' and 'EASY'.
TAPESY-MINI is a dispenser for use with small Scotch tape.(up to 20mm wide)
This design is more similar to a packaging dispenser than most small tape dispensers. While typical dispensers have their blades facing the adhesive, this model has them facing away from the tape. (It's possible to install it's blade facing the adhesive, but not recommended.)
This design allows for rapid, continuous taping, as the tape's end doesn't stick to the dispenser after cutting.
The body design was refined through extensive testing to accommodate a variety of grips. It can be used for short, straight tapings or for packaging applications.
TAPESY offers separate blades for plastic tape and paper tape.
The large-toothed blade can cut most tapes, including plastic and electrical tape.
TAPESY uses a specially designed 3D-printed blade(TAPESY BLADE) instead of a serrated metal blade. This design exploits the properties of plastic tape. Plastic tape has very high tensile strength, but it can easily break even with a small hole in its center. This device exploits this characteristic to easily cut the tape without the need for a metal blade.
The blades are securely fastened with a slide-and-snap fit for easy replacement. A spare slot in the body allows for storage of a separate blade.

1. The main body has been partially modified.
2. An adapter for electrical tape has been added.
Added one more serrated blade for cutting plastic tape.
