- The author previously built a tape dispenser inspired by Father Ted but had flaws like overpowered hardware and fragility.
- A new, improved version has been developed: smaller, better sound, more professional look, and easier to make.
- The new design features a 3D-printable case, IR sensor for tape measurement, and an ESP8266 microcontroller, costing under €10.
- The project improved the author's skills in 3D modeling, electronics, and design through iterative simplification.
- Although considered selling, the author decided against it but made all resources (software, 3D models, instructions) publicly available on GitHub and Printables.
- Encourages donations to charities supporting trans people in response to the Father Ted creator's harmful actions towards the trans community.
