Description

Let's Push some Paste!

Paste Pusher Animals will help save the world one tooth paste tube at the time!
Slide one of these Paste Pushers onto the end of your tooth paste tube and they will help you to push every last bit out of them!
They come in various delightful shapes..

Share them if you care!

If you don't have a 3D printer or know someone who does, order one here: shapeways.com/shops/MakePlace

Video of someone printing one: youtube.com/watch?v=hYm9fgRWFuk!

Instructions

Since these Paste Pushers are meant to be printed fast and furious and be given out as hand outs to show what useful things you can make with a 3D printer. So they are designed flat and without any supports.

On an UM we printed these in 18 minutes each in PLA at these settings:
Speed | 80mm/s
Fill | 20%
Wall | 0.4 mm
Layer | 0.2mm
(The UM has a bit to suffer from stringing unfortunately..)
Let us know if you can print them better and faster!

Let's Push some Paste!!!!

When I slice this, I don't get any bottom layers to connect the eyes with the pusher. Slic3r .99 Anyone have any thoughts?

Could you upload the SCAD file? I'd love to see some other animals as derivatives.

But the models are made with Solidworks..

Thanks!
We're all kids at heart, right?!

Wow, I love it! So cute. I like the way the traditional toothpaste keys roll up the "slack" to save counter space, though, so I wonder if that could be incorporated into another monster's rolled up tongue or something somehow.

Hah!
Good suggestion!
We'll think about that one!

Haha, excellent! This is a good idea....

Thanks Mr DutchMogul.
I am sure that you can come up with some fancy versions that are more visually appealing but they prob don't print as fast! :)
