About this 3D model

I saw some of the toothpaste tube squeezers and thought there's room to improve. So here's brief description of this ratchet toothpaste tube squeezer: ratchet mechanism ensures the tube doesn't unwind no supports just 4 parts which clicks into each other, no glue etc. needed, no part will get lost when swapping tubes fits 55mm wide tube shaft printed horizontally to prevent snapping toothpaste tube shape easy to assemble and use I recommend to print out the Shaft and Ratchet in PETG. If you don't have a 3D printer and want one of these, don't worry, I am also selling these on my Etsy shop ! Check out the assembly and how to use video here: As always, multiple formats are available including .stl, .3mf, .step and .obj. I also prepared .stl and .3mf with all parts preloaded and in their correct orientation. UPDATE 9.2. 2023 - V2 version stiffened body body also connected on top - shaft rotates smoother and doesn't get caught on larger toothpaste opening on the body with chamfer for easier insertion shaft tolerances adjusted reworked handle for better experience If you like practical things you can also check out my other projects or have a look at my Two-way ratchet stubby screwdriver : Cheers!
