AYATS (Another yet another toothpaste squeezer)

thingiverse

Hello everyone, here's yet another toothpaste squeezer. I've modeled this based on other ones I've seen and I think its a pretty good compromise between complexity and function. About 100 of these already exist in the wild, gifted to friends and family by yours truly and they seem to be hanging in there pretty well. This squeezer features a spiral - like snap in place ratchet that can work both directions based on the filament material, and a key that clips into the body neatly. To use it, print out the 4 pieces then: - Snap the ring into the body - Slide the washer over the key (do this with gentle pressure as it can break) - Slide your tube of toothpaste onto the key - Slide the key with the tube into the body - Gently position the key end into the ratchet - To remove the key and toothpaste, squeeze the key head along its wide axis and pull.
