Remixed base that gives a bit of mass to my tape dispenser model. When it comes to tape dispensers, heavier is better!!

Model information

This is base that replaces the spacers in my original model Tape Dispenser, Multi-size/Modular

This base allows for the middle spacer to be filled with sand or the material of your choice.

Depending on the material you choose, you will obviously get different weights.

For example with the 2 inch spacer I achieved a little over 300 grams using dry sand.

Now, I am well aware that 300g is not super heavy but if you build a modular dispencer, the weights will add up.

I am sure denser/heavier materials can be found (epoxy resin? lead shot?)

I did not want to make the part bigger because I did not want to affect the look of the dispenser.

There is nothing special about this print, no supports or anything special needed, layer height and material to your liking.

Just fill with material of choice to just below the tappered lip.

glue the top with a very light bead of CA glue or epoxy.

Enjoy!
