Banana tape dispenser

Problem Statement:

Recent analysis by the Staples finance department has concluded that sales for desktop organization products have declined in recent years.  The company would like to ramp up their profits in this area by enhancing the aesthetic nature of these products. Your group of two has been hired to design a set of theme-based organizational products.  Your team will design a set of office supplies that are tied together with a common theme. You must be able to justify the theme that connects the products together.  The idea is that the customer will not want to buy just one; they will want to buy the whole set.

Assembly Instructions: 

Additional summary information:

This banana shaped tape dispenser is one of four in this fruit shaped office supplies set. This set consists of a pineapple shaped pencil holder and and watermelon shaped USB holder, which you can find in my partners page @felixwang_2501929, as well as an apple shaped paper clip holder, and of course, a banana tape dispenser, which can both be found on my page. 

Design choices and changes:

1. Creating the shape of the banana was quick and easy, we made three different planes and lofted them together and made cuts into the banana so that it could correctly hold a tape dispenser. 

1. We originally designed the cut for the tape to be the size of a roll of tape, but then realized it would be more efficient to use the measurements from a regular tape dispenser so that everything would fit correctly, so we made an extruded cut on the right plane into the banana. 

1. After that we realized that although it could function, the sides of the banana were too big and we had to experiment trying different measurements without the cuts inside sticking out, so it went from 6.5 to 5.8.
