TLDR:

  • Kinesio tape is a type of tape that won't work with traditional tape dispensers, this dispenser holds the tape in place so it can be rolled out and rolled back easily.

Context:

  • Kinesio tape (or kinesiology tape) is a type of tape often used on athletes and sprained/strained patients by physiotherapists and sports medicine physicians. Essentially it's a streatchy fabric with adhesive backing. The tape itself (beige part in the photo) came with the adhesive backing stuck onto glossy paper (white part with red graphics in the phot).
  • Due to the stretchy nature of the fabric, you only peel it off the paper when you are ready to use it, or else the fabric will shrink and stick onto itself. When applying the tape, you usually pull it out a length longer than you think you'll need, then you use the tape as a tape measure to measure how long you need on the patient's body. Keeping the tape roll organized is a hassle.
  • This design is aim to keep the tape roll 1. from unfurling, and 2. from rolling away. I haven't finalized the design yet, the tension still needs tuning. I've uploaded the .stl and .blender files, feel free and remix and play with them! (I know…using Blender for CAD design is kind of peculiar!)
