This is an improved version of the print-in-place dispenser for lickable treats for cats. It reduces the messines of using such treats and allows to retrieve every last drop from the tube.
The model was tested by printing in PETG using 0.4 mm nozzle with 0.2 mm layer height. For a 256x256 mm bed, the model needs to be rotated by 45°. No supports are needed.
Make sure there are no seams adjacent to the sliding part. To enable movement of the sliding part, twist is with a reasonable amount of force applied.
Make sure the chosen filament is food safe. Food safe PETG is a good choice that allows cleaning the dispenser with hot water. Make sure to clean the dispenser thoroughly and replace as needed.
UPDATE: added a longer version of the device that should accomodate larger tubes better while still being printable on a 256x256 mm bed.
