Improved Ratchet toothpaste tube Squeezer

I've made Version 2 of this popular design with a lot of improvements !

Slightly taller body to fit more tubes, improved grip, better tolerances and an assembly video where I also showed how to easily unload the toothpaste once it's empty.

I really loved the original model of this toothpaste squeezer but it kept on jamming.

I've modified the top bit and added a screw type end to the shaft and a nut, this way it's a lot sturdier and also still easy to disassemble.

 

Thank you @Luke's 3D for the original design!

 

This is recommended to be printed in PETG with 0.2 layer height.

Removed the top overhang of the squeezer body. This will improve the print quality and aspect.

Removed the logo from the squeezer body.

I've made the body a little bit taller to fit better with the shaft.
