Flat Toothpaste Nozzle

thingiverse

You can't imagine living without it now that you've got it! This new design seamlessly integrates threads that attach to the toothpaste tube from our previous model. We've added a nozzle and dramatically altered the extrusion profile of regular toothpaste to produce a wide, flat shape. It's easy to screw on and comes with a screw-on cap. Our final version is complete, uploaded, and ready to print. Everything fits perfectly, so there won't be any further updates unless we release different nozzle shapes in the future. We've also introduced a new tapered nozzle type that features a simpler non-screw thread cap. Attention to detail makes all the difference - like ensuring the nozzle aligns properly when fully screwed on, is neither too short nor too long, and the cap is secure yet easily removable without unscrewing the entire device. Even something as simple as this item requires careful consideration in its design. We've tested it with Arm & Hammer's full-size tube. Keep in mind that your brand may require a few minor adjustments to get a perfect fit. We recommend scaling up or down by 2% or 5% increments if necessary. To achieve the best results, print the body with the nozzle end (outer thread) facing downwards, and you won't need any supports. Use a good food-safe material that resists breakdown, like PETG, which is our top pick. PLA might break down and crack over time due to repeated exposure to water and chemicals in toothpaste.
