Washi Tape Dispenser

thingiverse

Here is a fun dispenser for your collection of washi tape! In addition to prints of both sides, you will need: --3 mini hacksaw blades (6" long) --3 spring-loaded toilet paper roll holders --3 pieces of 3/8" dowel cut to 5 and 3/4" long --6 screws, size 6, 3/4" long --screwdriver --drill with tiny-sized bit for drilling pilot holes To assemble: 1. Paint your dowels if desired. 2. Pre-drill pilot holes into the ends of the dowels to prevent splitting. 3. Using screws, firmly attach all 3 dowels to one 3D printed side. 4. Using screws, loosely attach the second 3D printed side to 2 or 3 of the dowels. 5. Hook the pins on the ends of the 3 hacksaw blades through the slots on the 3D printed sides. 6. Tighten the screws on the second 3D printed side to hold the hacksaw blades in place. (This will require some finagling. The blades need to be held firm and taunt. Trim your dowels slightly shorter if the 3D printed sides are forced to bend too much.) 7. Slide your rolls of washi tape onto the toilet paper roll holders and install them in the large holes. 8. Enjoy the convenience of easy access to your washi tape!
