I made a cartoon designed toothpaste squeezer for my sister. I called my sister and interviewed her for a short time and we collaborated the idea to make something that would help her get the toothpaste out of the bottle for her because it was almost empty. the design was a pig from angry birds with a hole as the mouth meant for the back end of the toothpaste to go in and be pulled through pushing the rest out of the tip of the bottle.

I started on an app named tinker cad and began shaping, I used circles and ovals to get my design. then after i finished the product i grouped everything together. after everything was grouped, I exported the design to an app called Prusa slicer to check for errors or needed adjustments. after that I emailed my first prototype to dr. white and 3d printed it.

this was my second prototype. upon seeing it my first thought was that the mouth was too big for any of the toothpaste to be squeezed out. so i went back to tinker cad and made my adjustments. when i felt good about the size i repeated my steps from earlier and emailed it to dr. white and 3d printed my final prototype

this is my final prototype. the mouth looked good, and I was happy about it and took it home. my sister was happy, but we never used it again.
