This is a 3D-printed mini tape dispenser modeled after the iconic design of an industrial packing gun.
It serves as a fully functional and unique eye-catcher for any desk or workspace. The dispenser is designed to fit standard small adhesive tape rolls (such as Scotch Tape, approx. 19mm or 3/4" wide).
The model consists of several easy-to-print parts that are glued together during assembly. For the cutting edge, a small piece of 0.5mm sheet metal is required (e.g., from an old tin can or a metal strip). This piece can be cut to size with tin snips or heavy-duty scissors and inserted into the designated slot.
This is a quick and practical project that brings a popular industrial design to your desktop.
Happy printing!
