Toothpaste Squeezer

thingiverse

I want to fix toothpaste being stuck in the tube because it has been squeezed too much. Sometimes the tube might be twisted because someone was trying to get some toothpaste out of the tube, but then the toothpaste becomes hard to get out. This affects anyone who wants to use the toothpaste, but can’t because it won’t come out easily. The problem is located in my bathroom. Fixing it is important because it can insure that you aren’t wasting money by throwing out the tube even though there is still enough toothpaste left in it that is usable. It is something that can be fixed with a 3D print job and would be more convenient than using other items in the house. This fix does not require a certain color filament. My solution will extract any remaining toothpaste that might be stuck in the tube by putting it through a device that will squeeze the toothpaste out. My solution has a flat surface at the bottom with an oval shaped hole in it, and two cylinders on top of the base that will pinch the tube to get the paste out. My solution might be limited by how much toothpaste is in the tube because it may struggle if there is too much toothpaste in the tube, or it may not get any out at all if there isn’t enough left inside the tube. I think my solution will last a few months if I don’t use it too frequently. My solution can probably be used to squeeze out things from other tubes that are the right size for the solution. I think any color of filament would look fine for the solution.
