Description
This is a good conversation piece for your desk at work or a gift for that person who has everything - except for a whale tape dispenser!
Print in your favorite PLA with organic/tree supports.
Note: the inner cylinder for the spindle is intended to be a tight fit. Depending on the tolerances of your printer, you may need to reduce the diameter by 0.25 mm which you can do in the slicer with the scale function. Make sure you preserve the length. You will need to separate the two objects using the split function first. Also, the inner cylinder should be printed with a 5mm brim.
Tip: to thread the tape through the hole, I found it best to cut out a thin piece of card the same width as the tape and about 2-3 inches long. Attach this to the tape and then thread it through the hole, like you would a needle and thread.
