You must review and accept the declaration before we retrieve or slice the file.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files exactly as supplied, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

Original maker's notes

By Luke's 3D on Printables · CC-BY-NC

I saw some of the toothpaste tube squeezers and thought there's room to improve. So here's brief description of this ratchet toothpaste tube squeezer:

ratchet mechanism ensures the tube doesn't unwind
no supports
just 4 parts which clicks into each other, no glue etc. needed, no part will get lost when swapping tubes
fits 55mm wide tube
shaft printed horizontally to prevent snapping
toothpaste tube shape
easy to assemble and use

I recommend to print out the Shaft and Ratchet in PETG.

If you don't have a 3D printer and want one of these, don't worry, I am also selling these on my Etsy shop!

Check out the assembly and how to use video here:

As always, multiple formats are available including .stl, .3mf, .step and .obj.

I also prepared .stl and .3mf with all parts preloaded and in their correct orientation.

UPDATE 9.2. 2023 - V2 version

stiffened body
body also connected on top - shaft rotates smoother and doesn't get caught on
larger toothpaste opening on the body with chamfer for easier insertion
shaft tolerances adjusted
reworked handle for better experience

Cheers!

Printing Ratchet toothpaste tube squeezer

For Ratchet toothpaste tube squeezer we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
