Packet Squeezer Tool

thingiverse

This device is designed to compress fluid-filled packets in an efficient manner. Insert the packet edge into the squeezer (like a mac-n-cheese packet) and give it a gentle twist, then cut off the corner opposite the handle. Next, turn the handle clockwise to extract all contents from the packet. The packet will rotate slightly as you turn it, moving the trimmed corner into alignment with the two rollers. Required parts: 1. A turning handle 2. Small cylindrical ends (x2) 3. Large cylindrical ends (x2) 4. A compact frame 5. Roller assemblies (x2) Assembly instructions: Construct these components on your 3D printer: key, small ends, large ends, rollers, and a framework. Attach the assembled parts using #0-80 x 1/2" Long socket head cap screws. Insert the packet so it's centered between the rollers, close to the compact end of the tool. Rotate the handle counterclockwise to pull the packet between the rollers. As you do this, the packet will rotate and push its contents out of the snipped corner towards the large end.
