The Toothpaste Squeezer V4 is the fourth iteration of my toothpaste dispenser design, created to address user feedback and improve reliability.

- Version 1 – Easy Toothpaste Squeezer: While compact, many users noted that the gear was too small and often fell off. - Version 2 – Toothpaste Squeezer Improved: I enlarged the design and reinforced the gear system, but some users still experienced the gear slipping and difficulty retracting. - Version 3 – Finalized Design: Taking inspiration from MakerWorld user tetro17, I implemented a washer lock system to keep the gear securely in place. This ensures smooth operation, prevents the gear from falling off, and allows for easy retraction when needed. The result is a simple, durable, and user-friendly toothpaste squeezer that makes it easy to get every last bit out of your tube. - Version 4 – Precision Dispensing: To improve control, I redesigned the gear to dispense smaller amounts of toothpaste at a time. This makes it easier to manage portions, avoids waste, and gives users more precision when squeezing out toothpaste. The result is a simple, durable, and user-friendly toothpaste squeezer that makes it easy to get every last bit out of your tube, while not dispensing too much.
