Ratcheted Toothpaste Tube Squeezer 5.0

This is the latest and greatest Ratcheted Toothpaste Tube Squeezer 5.0. After so many new designs and innovations I have come to produce the best iteration yet. It features a small form factor made to be slim, while also being comfortable to hold. The new design gives it a modern take on bathroom accessories. It features an octagonal tube design to prevent it from rolling away, and a knurled grip texture to prevent slippage and improve grip.  

The length has also been shortened to be smaller after previous advice mentioned it was slightly too big. 

This Toothpaste Squeezer also features a print in place Ratcheting Mechanism that should print perfectly and function as designed. I recommend using a clean build plate to prevent adhesion issues that would lead to failure, especially at the ratcheting mechanism. 

The squeezer prints in two main pieces; the handle and body, that simply insert into one another. To insert your tube align the slit on the shaft of the handle with the slit on the main body and insert the tube ensuring it goes into both. After that wind it up to squeeze the toothpaste to the top of the tube. To remove the tube after use pull out the handle from the body. This quick release mechanism is effective and reliable and removes points of failure that can otherwise break. 

For print settings if you don't use my print profile I recommend using an infill of 30%, 2 walls, and no supports. 

The Slicer may warn you that supports are needed, do not worry as they are not. Feel free to use them if you wish, but I do not recommend them.

Have fun and enjoy!
