I have an old 10-foot measuring tape that the center pin broke out off; the spring no longer retracted the metal tape. I didn't want to pitch it and have it end up in a landfill, so I whipped up this fix. It has been in my pocket daily for about a year.
I included the Autodesk 123D Design source file and three .stl files:
MeasuringTapeGuide.stl is the drilling guide you can use to make the holes needed to keep the pin from spinning.
MeasuringTapePin.stl is the part you use to fix the tap
