Knex Tape Dispenser

I'm going to show you guys how to make a tape dispenser out of knex. It uses very little pieces and it's fun to use. Let's get started!

Step 1 First Side

This is the first side of the tape dispenser.

1: Make this panel. Make sure you have that y-clip there.
2. Add all 7 blue rods.

I like Yours better. Don't really know why though

[~KGB~]

[coreyjdl]

so as to not destroy a tape dispenser to make a tape dispenser. what about the strip from a saran wrap box?

[I_am_Canadian]

Whats with all the new ibles? I like it by the way. The only problem would be the absence of a blade. No big deal.

for all these people saying you need a tape cuteer thing you can use a hacksaw blade cut to size

[Bartboy]

I. Love. It. 100% Feature-worthy. But- I am only giving it 4*, because of the fact that you need the blade from a real tape dispenser......

Also, would adding spacers to the blue rods make it smoother to pull?

[jollex]

It wouldn't fit with blue spacers.

[travw]

Ok, it was just an idea.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

But would it fit now??

[travw]

I think so, but I haven't built it.
