Toothpaste Tube Squeezer

thingiverse

I was determined to find a way to extract every last drop of toothpaste from the bottom of the tube without leaving behind a single smidgen. Years ago, I had actually splurged on a gadget that promised to make this task easier, but its gaping hole defeated the purpose. I took matters into my own hands and designed a device with an incredibly slim gap that should fit snugly around most toothpaste tubes. To aid in its insertion, I use a pair of pliers to gently coax it through. The original model had a 0.6mm gap, but I tweaked it slightly to increase the chamfer (wider opening at both ends) and expanded the gap to 0.8mm.
