Why spend ten times more money on travel-sized toothpaste when you can just refill the small tube? Just screw the big and small tubes together using this part, then squeeze the big tube. After refilling, blow the remaining toothpaste from the coupler part onto your toothbrush and brush your teeth. Finally, wipe out the insides with a Q-tip. As designed, the thread fit is tight, so consider printing at 102% for a looser fit. 2019-08-30 Added a version that couples a Crest tube to a Colgate tube because you might like one brand but have a travel tube from another. - Crest2Colgate.stl Also added a version that couples two Colgate tubes. - Colgate2Colgate.stl 2019-08-29 Added a shorter version, 8mm shorter than the original, called Crest2Crest.stl. 2019-05-24 Underwent redesign to fit different thread patterns across various brands of toothpaste tubes.
