Description
This is my "Improved" version of Matt Wilde's "SMD Tape Organizer" adding smoother geometry on the feed ramps and more variants for 8mm and 12mm width tape. Also created variants of some rails making them overall thinner to reduce filament usage and size. Big thanks to Matt for including the CAD files so I could modify the design easily to create my versions! My Fusion 360 & .STP files are attached to modify the design yourself.
There are two variants with different sizes, the original size allocating for 8mm width tape, and a 12mm width tape.
The 8mm variant has two sizes, large and small. Small is the original size, large is the 50% scaled up version for holding longer lengths of tape. There is no small size of the 12mm variant as it didn't seem necessary, but if anyone would like one, let me know!
Mounting Rails - I didn't create modified versions of all the rails as I didn't need the different sizes, only 8mm variants for 8 and 10 reels and a 5 and 7 rail for the 12mm variant. Anyways the only changes I made to the reels was thinning them to use less filament and take up less space. The 12mm rail can be scaled for different sizes if necessary.
