MakerSL / Openbuilds Laser Cut Tape Dispenser by sonnylowe

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a simple Laser Cut Tape Dispenser. The design was inspired by this little beauty...and it was scaled for a roll of Staples 3/4" x 1296' invisible tape.

It is assembled with QTY(10) Openbuilds Low Profile M5 x 10 SHCS. The Spacers can also be made from OB supplies, simple stack whatever various lengths you want until you reach a total length of 22mm
Laser cut parts: DXF files are [provided, there as no logos in place, if you can cut/engrave acrylic than you can add your own logo. If you would like custom made acrylic parts please feel free to contact me via my website:

Printer parts:
These parts were made from ABS and will require tapping (M5). The holes in the parts are modeled at 4.5mm however, I like to run a 4.5mm(.177") drill through them prior to tapping.
Assembly is straight forward...
Note: I have provided STL files for the Sides, the Cutter or the Spindle Caps. However, I think these are best done in acrylic, I feel it would loose it's appeal if it were fully printed, although a transparent filament might work nicely ;-)
This entire project was done using Onshape, a "view only" file is linked below:
