I needed to do a bit of plastering and one part involved cutting the scrim tape to suit an old covered window alcove requiring some 45˚ cuts in the scrim tape, the tape I have selected is the brand with two metal strips running between / close to the centre of the tape so tin snips are required to cut the tape.
To speed things up a bit I designed and printed a very simple tool to mark the tape before cutting with the tin snips, saves messing about with a protractor.
To use:
Hold the tape between the two edges with the point on your measured mark (in the centre of the tape) and mark left or right then turn round to mark the flat….. or mark both before cutting
That’s it…. simple and enjoy, didn’t take me long to print but saved a load of time messing about – one tool to do all.
I designed this to fit the 50mm tape I am using so if you’re on the other side of the pond and still using imperial (2” or 50.8mm) scale in slicer by 1.016 or if you have another size of tape scale to suit.
ME!!!
