Easy to print, but not very functional. The teeth are too close to the tape, making it hard to cut; they need to be slightly separated with a slope, about 4 to 5 mm apart. Also, the walls are too thin and break very easily—I actually had to repair mine with superglue.

It cuts well and looks good. My tape was just a bit slim to have a snug fit.

Quick and super practical. Thanks!

Doesn't stay put, struggles to cut the tape and broke quite easy :(
great idea, not so great execution.

It doesnt stay put on smaller tape rolls, but it works fine for the bigger ones

Printed in PLA at 205 degrees, 0.2 layer height, 40mm/s printing speed. The basic premise and thickness are good, but printing vertically as suggested caused it to break after a few uses. It tears off painter's tape well, leaving precise teeth marks, but those same teeth are more difficult to get a hold of to peel off the next part. Overall it works, but could use some work.

Prints great and it is a nice design, but in my experience it's no very practical if you need to cut consecutive pieces of tape as the tape gets glued again in the roll, since the teeth are very close to the surface. Anyhow, could still be handy! Thank you for sharing the design.
