I honestly don't know if anyone else will find use for this, but I'm proud of the design and glad I was able to give a second life to this measuring tape so I'm sharing it here on the off chance someone has a similar tape to this one. This should fit any tape so long as it's no wider than 1.3cm, but if there isn't a hole in the tape you'll need to cut one 5mm from the end. I reinforced this one with some threaded bookbinding tape and recut the hole using a 3mm leather punch.

The print itself features a living hinge and should be glued shut to ensure it stays put. The tolerances are very tight, but designed with a .4mm nozzle in mind. For results closest to mine you'll need a .2mm first layer. This should work with other materials, but I chose to use PETG.
