Tape Dispenser Vers. TD3 - 3, 4 & 6 Inch Wide
UPDATE 18NOV2021: Added alternative left and right frame parts modified to hold the blade 20mm lower than the original design. Use files TD3-FrameLeft-LowBlade.STL and TD3-FrameRight-LowBlade.STL instead of TD3-FrameLeft.STL and TD3-FrameRight.STL.
UPDATE 22AUG2021: Added alternative part "TD3-FlushHubBolt-3Start.STL". These hub bolts come without the ears, making them flush with the sides of the dispenser in order to make it less wide. Also added picture of dispenser with the flush hub bolts installed.

DESCRIPTION
A gravity-independent bench or wall mountable tape dispenser for 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- & 6-inch wide blue, masking or packing tape on 3-inch inside diameter rolls. Use the optional metal blade for shipping/packing tape. All parts print without support.
This is the third revision of my tape dispenser design, and is much improved from previous versions.
The first one completely SUCKS! It is at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:140138
The second one is better, but is only 3 inches wide, and is at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4110302

BUILD
First, decide whether you want a 3-, 4- or 6-inch wide dispenser. Remember that tape rolls less than the hub width will work on any hub of greater or equal width, for example, a 1-inch, 2-inch or 3-inch wide tape roll will work on any of the hubs. More than one roll can be put on a hub, size permitting.
All printed parts are made with PETG filament.
Print these parts for any dispenser width:
