Description
After printing Singh Design's Tape Dispenser Automatic Tape Cutter model, I realized the stock roller just wasn’t cutting it for the kind of tape rolls I actually use. The original part is sized for smaller rolls, but my setup demands something beefier—a proper 76 mm (3") core or larger like the classic Scotch-style refills.
So, I went ahead and designed this adapter wheel from scratch, basing it on the dimensions and concept of the original, but reworking it completely to handle larger rolls. It’s a simple drop-in part, printed in regular PLA (no fancy filaments needed), and it does the job just fine.
With this tweak, the dispenser goes from being a cool little gadget to a genuinely practical everyday tool. Just a heads-up: this listing is only for the adapter wheel. You’ll still need to print Singh Design’s original dispenser model (though you can safely skip the wheel if you’re using mine).
If you’ve ever been frustrated by rolls that just don’t fit, this little add-on should make your life easier.
