A tape dispenser inspired by the popular Glock 19
If you ever wanted something like this, here you go.
My most ambitious model so far :) Enjoy!

Disclaimer: This is a gadget/toy, the dimensions are non accurate and do not represent the actual Glock Model
For now it only works with scotch 15mm x 10m rolls. Max roll OD is 46mm, ID of the rolls should be ~26.2mm
I suggest you print it out of something with bright hi-vis colors. In the end it is up to you.
The cutter is fairly experimental and i only got it to work with PLA on my print orientation when i sanded the teeth sharp with some sandpaper, if you have any ideas or insights let me know or feel free to remix the model or adjust it yourself (step included).
I included the Step file of the cutter so you can change it yourself if you want
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall print settings:
3 Wall loops
0.2mm layer height (except cutter 0.12mm)
15% infill (except cutter 100%)
Custom Tree supports for the Frame (See presliced file for Orca slicer or Bambu Studio, i painted the supports by hand)
Raft support for the Tape Cylinder
No supports and no brim for the cutter (Make sure bed adhesion is solid)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assembly is fairly simple, mount the tape cylinder into to roll and click it into the channel on the top of the model. Should go in easy and with an audible click.
To remove a roll just pull it straight up and it should snap out easy without much force.
To mount the cutter you need a 3mm wood screw or similar with a high pitch thread.
I used a 3x12mm phillips head but you can use any 3mm wood screw up a MAX of 20 mm lenght.
Thats it. Happy printing!
