Casey is a handy surface mount parts holder and dispenser for components on cut tape.

Created in OpenSCAD so that it can be parametrically modified. I've included 3mf files for cassettes that can accommodate tape widths up to 8mm (0603), 10mm (0805), and 13mm (TSSOP16).
A small 3d-printed "spring" in the exit opening hold the tape in place and prevents them accidentally falling out.
The bump on the top is a catch for the film on the tape. Thread it through there and it'll stay out of your way as you use your parts. The top of it has a small opening, allowing you to easily slide the film in.
The open side has a small lip to prevent the parts from falling out during handling.
