A one-part, print-in place, support-free tape dispenser (for 25mm-inner-diameter tape).
Most of the designs I found were not really suitable for PLA printing due to the shear stresses on the part. I've made my own which works quite well.
The teeth were designed for 0.2mm layer heights, haven't tested them on other settings.
The roll of tape I designed it for is:
I'm also attaching the Sketchup file in case someone would like to modify the design to match custom tape dimensions.
Supports:
No
Resolution:
0.4mm, 0.2mm layer height
Infill:
50%
Filament brand:
Any
Filament color:
Any
Filament material:
PLA / PETG
Notes:
The shear stresses work to our disadvantage (along the layer lines) but due to the thickness of the part it hasn't snapped on me yet (PLA). Print at higher temperatures for better layer adhesion (200-205°C for PLA?)
Enjoy! :)
