About this model
Turn your ordinary fabric measuring tape into a full on tape measure, with this fabric tame measure spooling case! No glue or fasteners needed, it all snaps together! I built this design around a ~120inch/305mm tape with a width of ~20mm. The .scad file is included and has handy variables at the top of the code, in case you need to adjust any sizes. ASSEMBLY: 1. Print the case and roller. The case needs no supports and should have an infill of at least 40% for durability. The roller does need supports, since it has overhangs, but can be printed with a lower infill. I printed mine at 5% and it works great! 2. Fold the tab at the end of the tape and insert it into the T-shaped notch in the roller. Be sure to use the high number end of the tape so that the zero end comes out of the dispenser.…
