You only need ONE movement and ONE hand to put toothpaste on your toothbrush with the same amount of toothpaste everytime.
This dispenser is a must in your bathroom if you are as lazy as me!!!!

It took me almost 2 months and 8 different versions to get to the final design.
It was an exhausted and tired process, that freaked me out. I had tried from gears to cranks and slides.
I am pretty sure I wasted at least 500gr of PLA.

THE COVER OF THE TOOTHPASTE MUST BE REMOVED.
I am leaving a video where everything is explained.
Remember not to stick parts of different colors (with the exception of the toothbrush holders).
It is not shown on the video, but in the.st files there is a file called "up", you have to stick it up.

Sometimes the block you push ends up with some toothpaste, that is the only thing to improve.
Despite that, it works perfectly well.
Hope you enjoy reading the same I enjoy doing it. :)
