With this dispenser, the tape reel spins freely on the holder. Press your thumb down on the cutter to hold the reel in place and tear. A little tab of tape remains, which makes it easy to start the next piece. This was designed to make it easier to lay painter's tape on a print bed, but it has proved useful all over the shop.
Note: this isn't for heavy duty use. It relies on thumb pressure to hold the cutter in place. See the ratings below for more.

Rev 2 fixes some issues with the first version of the design (also my original work), namely the cutter has sharper teeth and the rim at the base makes it easier to hold.
Designed for a “standard” tape size. The FreeCAD design file is included if you want to mess around with dimensions, although it wasn't set up with easy parameters. YMMV.
Paint on supports on either side of the cutter arm instead of supporting the whole face to make cleanup easier. 3MF file included to illustrate.
