Locking Toothpaste Squeezer 63mm modular

This is an upgraded edition of the original toothpaste squeezer 63mm (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:376166), now boasting a robust locking mechanism and a sleek, modular design that offers unmatched convenience. I set out to correct a critical flaw in my first design, transforming it into a fully modular apparatus that promises enhanced usability. I relied on Tinkercad to craft this magnificent thing; take it for a spin online here: https://tinkercad.com/things/cJlSVVqUCEe Instructions To utilize the toothpaste squeezer efficiently, consider starting with a partially empty tube. Once you've squeezed out roughly one-quarter of the toothpaste, you'll have better results. I have also improved upon my initial design by rectifying a common defect found in the original model. It appears there was an unpleasant gap between the crank knob and shaft that contributed to overall fragility; users have praised me for taking heed of their wise words. For superior printing outcomes, take advantage of our design layout to ensure most pieces stand upright throughout the printing process – thereby sparing you from the dreaded need to employ additional supports. According to initial print assessments, results were entirely satisfactory. As a major plus point in comparison with my former toothpaste squeezer, assembly has never been more streamlined thanks to a thoughtful inclusion of specifically-designed clips on both inner and outer sections. For enhanced piece assembly success merely place the crank through its appropriate location before firmly positioning one large clip within that aforementioned designated internal space adjacent the turning mechanism; securing further balance and durability via additional clip reinforcement placed onto cranking rod exterior end. The procedure remains straightforward from thereon; proceed to secure smaller pins across both apparatus's gears using simple holes created with precision by an exacting user's care and precision, then pass tubes inside the entire body piece through said larger notch until a sufficient tube length is achieved. Adjust tube grip by hand via this turn crank method described above – beginning clockwise at all times as per specifications - flip lock in a downward angle motion allowing free space between any given gear. To tighten toothpaste tension let falling into available hole sections each passing along teeth while doing everything that should prevent winding from occurring again without need of relocking the same section where unwinding had first commenced with full success achieved only once final step complete as designed by all original contributors
