TWIST’N PASTE
The challenge
This project is made for those who have difficulty in squezing a toothpaste tube and therefore brushing their teeth due to some disability or movement restriction.
Who it helps
Our product was designed for people with muscle fatigue or movement limitations that would obstruct them from squezing a toothpaste tube.
How it works
The solution is offered by a 3D printed wall attachment tool that helps its users who can’t coordinate their both hands together or who has one hand missing by making its users able to get the toothpaste out by only turning a simple key.
Twist’n Paste offers its users a practical, easy and efficient way to brush their teeth, without using
mustiple hands or any complicated hand movements.
Tools needed
FDM Printer
