Strong and compact Toothpaste Tube Squeezer with different sizes and screw cap

thingiverse

There are many tube squeezers out there but none that fit my needs. The key points to this one is: Compact design Screw cap for rod (No pins, gluing, or anything weird) Rod is printed on its side for much better strength. Lock mechanism that works. Multiple sizes. (20mm, 40mm, 60mm, 80mm, 130mm sized tubes) I also included just the screw tip of the rod. Print it and a cap first with minimal plastic to get your H-expansions and whatnot correct before printing the whole that way there will be less plastic wasted on a print that has interference parts. If you need a different size just let me know. They are easy to add. I printed this in PETG for the strength and did 100% infill so I would not have to worry about breaking. My prints seem more then plenty strong so you can probably use far less infill then I. In case it does not make sense you should be able to shift the rod about 3mm. when the key side is all the way against the case it should be locked. when the nut side is against the case it should be unlocked. Good luck on the print!
