Fully 3D Printed Measuring Tape (Spring Loaded)

This is a fully printed measuring tape that automatically retracts using a spiral spring. The lever on the bottom acts as a lock to keep the tape extended unless the lever is pressed. The tape is available in 150cm (1.5m) or 60 inch (5 ft) versions, with an option of a hooked or straight end. The hooked end is meant to be loose to provide proper accuracy when pushed or pulled (just like a standard tape). The tape sometimes needs a bit of help to retract, but can mostly retract on it's own. The only additional tool needed is a standard fine point Sharpie to make the markings using the included jig. I haven't seen anyone make this style of tape, as just a thin strip with bumps for the markings (although it's possible I missed it when searching!) Follow for a 25ft version that's in the works :) Material choices: PLA works fine for everything, but there are better options for some of the parts: Tape: PETG>ABS/ASA>PLA as flexibility is key. I wouldn't recommend silk filaments, as they tend
