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.

Dimensions of 1" Tape Cutter
Dimensions of 3" Cutter

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.
