Label Dispenser 1.0

thingiverse

This is the quick-n-dirty initial version of a dispenser for some QC labels at work. The OpenSCAD files should allow you to customize it for other sizes, but I have not tested this so adjust any variables at your own risk! The lip that holds the side plate on has no clearance, so technically it should not fit. However I found the box was flexible enough this did not become an issue - the flex actually keeps it nice and secure. In later versions I hope to include a more aesthetic outside surface as well as a chamber for ballast weight on the bottom. I particularly like the use of hull() and cylinders to create the overall shape, while there are still rough edges I like the simplicity and ease of turning that into a general module. While slicing the files, I noticed that the center spool roller is 'hanging' off a bed of infill material and probably does not have much strength there. This particular object shouldn't be under much stress, but it's worth examining your slicer settings to be sure it gets good contact.
