Minimal Toothpaste Squeezer

I was really surprised when I went looking for a toothpaste squeezer that they were all so over complicated, used crazy amount of filament, had long print times, or stupid faces/text added to them.

It took me less than 2 minutes to measure and mock up this model, which takes about the same to print. 5 minutes if you include heating up the printer and running pre-print calibration.

Only uses 2.6g of filament

Lemon flavored toothpaste? wtf

Haha I definitely understand the skepticism. Its SLS free which helps as I get mouth ulcers a lot with other toothpaste. The lemon flavour is actually really nice, they also make a propolis (Honey) one too
