Introduction

A 3D Printed Tape Roll Holder for Maker Tape.

Tools

Parts

No parts specified.

Video Overview

  1. You can download the files and print them on your own 3D Printer. Find the files in our GitHub repository: https://github.com/BrownDogGadgets/3D-Pr...

  2. We've made some improvements to the Large version. A new lock with an extended portion and and a clip to prevent unspooling.

    • We've made some improvements to the Large version. A new lock with an extended portion and and a clip to prevent unspooling.

    • These modifications are the result of working hands-on with educators for the past year. Thanks for your input!

    • The clip is optional, but we've found it very useful in shared environments where the tape may be subject to unspooling from the roll.

  3. We also created a version for the small (5m) rolls of our 1/8" Maker Tape. While 1/4" wide Maker Tape is great for paper circuits, 1/8" Maker Tape is generally used as part of our Crazy Circuits brick-based electronics system.

  4. Every 3D printer is a little different! If your parts don't fit together easily here are a few things to try. Is the peg too tight? You can try to sand it down a little. You want a snug fit but not so tight it cannot freely pivot after inserted.

    • You can also try printing it at slightly more or less than 100% scale if the fit isn't quite right.
