This 3D printed stained glass foiler simplifies the application of copper foil tape. It draws inspiration from this Printables model and features a streamlined design with minimal hardware. The model includes 3D printed screw threads and a press-fit guide wheel for easy assembly and precise foiling.
Notes:
- Secure guide wheel assembly: Guide wheels feature a press-fit design for a sturdy connection. Apply firm pressure during assembly to ensure they stay in place.
- Interchangeable wheels: Easily swap guide wheels with different sizes by screwing them onto the main body, ensuring compatibility with various tape widths.
- Optional tape spacer: Utilize the included "spacer" to prevent wobbling and tangling of thinner copper tape rolls.
- Tape width variety: Choose from multiple print plates with different wheel sizes to perfectly match your preferred tape widths (e.g., 5mm).
- Workbench adaptable: An optional variant features a built-in flap that loosely clamps to workbenches with a 16-17mm thickness for better portability and to avoid using any hardware entirely.
Changelog:
- 7-May-2024
- Wheel guide is 25% shorter. The copper tape has to travel under the entire guide, and the previous length felt too long.
- Wheel guide has now tolerance for the copper tape width. It was too precise and tight before.
