Instructions

This project is among my more complex ones, so I'll refrain from over-explaining it and let the provided .zip folder speak for itself. The main steps are: o Cutting the two wooden halves of the ShaperTaper (large bit for the large pockets, 3mm bit for the smaller areas) o Cutting/sanding OR 3D-printing the carrier plate for the QRE1117 light sensor and the brake block o Installing the electronics o Soldering everything together o Uploading the software using the Arduino IDE o Having unprecedented fun dispensing ShaperTape for future projects If you have questions or would like to make one, but are too intimidated by this page, you are invited to ask anytime in the ShaperTaper forum thread (https://community.shapertools.com/t/introducing-the-shapertaper/9076). I'm excited to see your versions of this project! - BodgedButWorks
