Stop endlessly searching for the end of your tape!
Forget about picking the tape with your fingernail or cutting off a crumpled end. The solution is Tape Tab Buddy.


Tape Tab Buddy is available in 2 sizes:

  • Small Tape Tab Buddy (15 x 14 mm): For scotch tape and washi tape
  • Large Tape Tab Buddy (45 x 20 mm) : For wide packing tape, duct tape, or paper tape

And the magic?

  • Custom size (Custom Tape Tab Buddy): Create the perfect size for your unique needs.

Tip: I recommend using the Tape Tab Buddy 2 mm smaller than the width of the tape so that the tapes remain stackable.

Customizable SCAD file attached. 

How does it work?
Simply stick the Tape Tab Buddy to the cut end of your tape. Store your tape as usual, and when needed:

  1. Quickly find the end of the tape.
  2. Pull Tape Tab Buddy to unroll.
  3. Stick the tape in place.
  4. Peel off Tape Tab Buddy.
  5. Cut the tape and reapply Tape Tab Buddy to the free end for the next time.

Only less than 1 gram of filament will change your life.
 

Printing from PETG recommended for added flexibility and durability.

Printing profile contains 1 small and 1 large Tape Tab Buddy. Feel free to delete the one you don't need or Clone for the desired amount.

Set 0.08mm Layer height and 6 to 9 Top/Bottom shell layers.
