I printed this and figured out the best screw sizes to use at the Ace Hardware lol. I used 5/16" nylon screws for this. The main piece that holds the tape - I used a longer screw and a wingnut cap for easy removal. I also tried to use 1/4" foil with this - it does not fit. You have to use 7/32" foil.

My husband mounted it to a piece of wood board that I can clamp onto my craft table when I am using it, and remove when I am not.

As far as how it works - it works okay. (you can see a piece I foiled in the photo.) It's not the best and I prefer hand foiling. But it does what it's supposed to do! I had to remove the backing on the tape as I foiled. Since the creator didn't leave any details, I tried to figure it out the best I could?

The print itself also uses a lot of unnecessary plastic. (I saw another design on this website I have not tried yet that uses less plastic.) (edited)

I'd also like to know what hardware this needs.

@Zwono_259202 See my comment above for more details. I used 5/16" nylon screws for this.

What size bolts are required for putting this together?
