I was hoping for a cuter toothpaste dispenser, so I decided to make one myself!

1. Measuring approximately 5.75 cm in width, this design is compatible with most toothpaste tubes. If your toothpaste tube is wider than this dimension, you can simply select the entire model and scale it up manually—though I’ve left just enough clearance around the extrusion gap to ensure that even when the model is enlarged, the toothpaste still dispenses cleanly.
2. This is the first in our adorable animal series. If you’d like to see other designs, just let me know—I’ll happily bring them to life! 😄
3. I originally planned to print it in Corgi-inspired colors (as shown in the cover image), but I chickened out at the thought of “bamboo poop” and ended up leaving the colors uncolored. You’re welcome to add your own color fills before printing. I’ve also uploaded a version of the model split into parts based on the Corgi color scheme—but I’m not sure how to add a sleek, elegant snap‑together mechanism. If any experts out there could help me figure out a way to incorporate a secure snap‑fit, I’d be incredibly grateful! 🙏 (FDM printing really struggles with smooth, rounded shapes—those ears somehow ended up square instead of round 🤣. Is there a technique anyone can share that lets me achieve both smooth curves and easy, reliable prints?)
