Toothpaste Squeezer

The Toothpaste Squeezer is an inexpensive 3D-printed device that aids the removal of toothpaste. This device may benefit those with limited hand dexterity or those who find it challenging to get the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube.

This design was created by Spidersky1489 and posted on Printables.com.

Picture of a green 3d printed toothpaste squeezer inserted midway along a tube of toothpaste.
