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

If you like practical things you can also check out my other projects or have a look at my Two-way ratchet stubby screwdriver:

Cheers!
