Hey - here is the workshop tape dispenser we designed at our studio that can be mounted in a left or right configuration, and has a replaceable tape cutter. I would like to design a new version that has a bit more thought into it - but for now this iteration really works well enough and as long as you don't abuse it - it will be great! Ours has been mounted and used for well over a year or more. 

Existing metal versions are quite expensive and when we lost a roller for one - it inspired this design / build. Hope this saves you some money and time. 

 

Slicing:

When slicing the holder - be sure to make the holder peg solid by adding a cylindrical perimeter modifier in that area - this will make it a bit more durable - but on our next version - I am hoping to reinforce this / make a change. 

 

The replaceable blade can be a bit tricky to print and needs a great first layer - adjust your slicer settings to ensure the first layer is thin - and that the layer height is set low to ensure the cutter works :)
