You didn't know you wanted it, but now you can't live without it!
Incorporates the threads that attach to the toothpaste tube from the remixed model. Adds a nozzle and changes the extrusion profile of regular toothpaste to be wide and flat. Screws on, and includes a screw on cap.
-Final version complete, uploaded and ready to print. Everything fits great. There will be no further updates, unless they are in the form of different nozzle shapes.
-New tapered nozzle type, with simpler non screw thread cap
It's little details like the nozzle being aligned properly when fully screwed on, not being too short or too long, the cap being secure but able to be taken off easily without also unscrewing the whole apparatus, that make all the difference. Even something as simple as this item has many considerations in its design.
Tested with Arm & Hammer full size tube.
Depending on your brand, it may take a few minor resizes to get a proper fit. I'd recommend scaling up/down in 2% or 5% increments if a size change is necessary.
Recommend printing the body with the nozzle end (outer thread) down, no supports needed. Print in a good food safe material that won't break down. PETG would be the most ideal, as PLA could potentially break down and crack over time from repeated exposure to water and chemicals in toothpaste.
