Description

Another one of those prints that solves a simple problem that been driving me nuts for years.


Tomato Puree tubes don't stand upright in the cupboard. They always fall over.

 

This fits over the screw cap of the tube and makes it so it will stand upright on the lid. It stays on and you unscrew the cap with it in place. Just change it over to the new tube when you run out.
 

It also occurred to me that it might help if you have reduced grip strength or find holding the small diameter cap of the tube difficult.

 

It was made to fit the Sainsbury's ones but I'm sure that it will fit others too.

Edit to add, it also fits Napolina caps.
 

If you do print it and it works for you please let me know what brand it fits and I'll update the description.

 

As the tube caps are tapered they can get a bit wedged into the printed stand if the tube cap was inserted very firmly. So I also made a little ejector button thingy. Put the ejector button on a worksurface (dimple side up) and push the stand (tube side up) down onto it to pop the tube cap out. It is generally not needed though so it's in it's own profile.

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for! It fits perfectly onto the left tube, still sufficiently well onto the middle one, the right one slipped through completely, but with scaling to 90% it also fits here. Simply measure the ratio of one precisely fitting lid to another, and then scale the model accordingly. Due to the narrowing thread, small deviations are also no problem

Worked better than expected, we had two different sizes of cap one worked in each end so thanks.
