Dino-Mite Tape Dispenser!

Dino ROAR! Dino eat tape!

A dinosaur shaped tape dispenser for standard rolls of Scotch brand magic tape (¾ inch or 19mm).

Printing; All parts were printed using a 0.4 nozzle. There isn't anything complicated here so I'm sure other nozzles will work. You can use 0.3 layer height but you will want to really reduce it around the teeth so it cuts the tape cleanly. I used variable layer height ranging from 0.3 to 0.10 for the teeth:

Main Body: there are two ways that I have tested printing.

- Vertical-1, organic supports but variable layer height is not supported. - Vertical-2, with variable layer height, takes less time and more filament but the supports are easier to remove. - Horizontal, much shorter print time but you need to be a little more patient removing the supports. - Both versions need supports. I had really good luck with “snug” style as they came off easily with a small slotted screwdriver. Organic worked really well too. Spool: I used organic supports.

To use: Hold the tail down and tear at the mouth! Roar!
