  DIY Tape Drive:

  • Keep the core-rings remaining from sticky tapes that you use.
  • When you are about to finish your fourth, save some tape
  • Peel the remaining tape and encircle 2 of the core-rings
    • Do the same with the other 2 core-rings and remaining tape
    • You might want the amount of tape used to be same for both the pairs
  • Connect core-rings to the axle of your choice
