Brother P-Touch QL label basket

thingiverse

My Brother QL720 sits on a wire rack and tends to eject labels and send them flying, getting lost on lower levels. OpenSCAD to the rescue. This is after a couple of iterations, adjusting the size, rounding the section that is against the labelmaker (I guessed on the cylinder dimensions), and moving the catch basket section higher so they are easier to retrieve. I love making these one-off utilitarian objects. It's a relatively big time investment (in development time and iterative printing time), but the end result scratches an itch in my home office. I shared 'v1.0' and a pic of it, as well as 'v1.4' and several pics. 'scad version is 1.4.
