SMD Tape Holder customisable
Description
SMD tape/strip holders for use when doing manual pick and place or soldering. I made the design parametric so you can customise it to the type of tape you are using. In the customiser there is a drop down to select the standard tape widths. The tape depth refers to the space occupied between the top of the tape and the lowest point of the tape holding in the component (for some components this can be large, think electrolytic caps, crystals, buttons ect...). You can adjust the bottom plate thickness to anything you want, 1mm seems to work well, too small, the SMD strip will splay the holder, too thick isn't a problem just uses more material. You can also set how many rows across the holder should be. I included the STLs of the holders I made for use with the packages I needed, this doesn't cover the complete range of possibilities, so I recommend using the customiser. I included an STL of holder I made for paper SMD tapes, I didn't make this parametrically so there is no customisable version of it. I might get around to making it parametric if I need it again. The customisable one only works for plastic SMD tape which is thinner than the paper variant.
