[Remix] Kapton Tape Dispenser (with blade & cover)

A simple tape dispenser/holder (mainly for ≤12mm Kapton tape) with a spot for a small saw-tooth blade on the front for better tape-cutting action.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any injuries that may occur due to careless treatment of the tape dispenser's blade. It's relatively sharp, so please be careful. Please use a pinch of glue (I used E6000) to help secure the blade.

Parts:

• 1x M3 10mm Screw

• 1x M3 Nut

• 1x Plant Tying Machine Blade Replacement (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYSDYNPY/)

• Kapton Tape (≤10mm width)

• Glue (I used E6000, super glue might work just as well)

Description:

I really liked the design and portability of the two tape dispenser models that this model is based on, but plastic, even at lower layer heights, just doesn't get spiky enough to make dispensing tape graceful.

(Used the tape-holding part of Battcave's Kapton tape remix (from MakerWorld), which is based on Slaik Kopanov's original masking tape holder.)

Use normal/rectangular supports for the main model, as there is an overhang where the blade gets held.

2 or more wall loops and at least 15% infill is recommended for good print strength while pulling the tape.

This model was printed with a layer height of 0.2mm.

Update:

Added a magnetic cover for the tip of the tape dispenser. It uses a small magnet to stay very loosely attached to the M3 screw. It's not a perfect design, but it does the trick.

You'll need a 10x3mm circular magnet and a bit of super glue to keep said magnet in place. I suggest using a brim to help keep the part upright while printing.
