This is probably the best kitchen tool to handle these tubes.
And If you have a handicap you can use any 8mm ∅ stick as lever for your convenience.
works with plastic tubes for toothpaste aswell metal tubes for food paste or cosmetics. As you squeeze them by rolling on the outside then slide the empty parts inside to rollup it is looking clean and tidy.
Also got a new filament »POM« aka Polyoxymethylen you may know this under: Kematal, Delrin, Ultraform, Kepital or Duracon.
With 1.4g/cm³ it is heavy and not easy to print, it doesn’t stick to anything but itself and is warping. But this is great for mechanical parts »"…is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability.«"
This could withstand boiling water (dishwasher) and will bear -40°C!
so here my first experiences:
print on (heated) POM surface - adhesion
close heated chamber - only 5% fan.
It looks very nice as it came out transparent when hot.
don’t overheat (never exceed 220 °C as this will dissolve in formaldehyde )
