O.S. Deodorant Stick Lifter

Description

If you're anything like me, you are concerned about the environment and our impact on it. I try to switch to no-single-use-plastic packaging as much as possible but sometime these products come at the expense of more modern conveniences. A great example of this is the new Old Spice deodorant sticks with zero plastic in the packaging. This is a great product beyond it's environmental benefits - it is made without aluminum (which has been linked to Alzheimer's) and while it is not an antiperspirant it holds up to my stress sweat like nothing I've used before. The down side? There is no plunger to lift the deodorant up as it gets used up - you are simply expected to keep pushing it up from the bottom. This can get a bit tedious as every morning when I would go to put my deodorant on, I would find that the stick had slid back down overnight and I would have to press it back into a position where it was usable again. A small price to pay to reduce my impact but an inconvenience never the less. Enter: The Old Spice Deodorant Stick Lifter! Now I can crank my deodorant up to where I need it and still find it there the next morning! No fiddling around trying to press a small cardboard circle up inside a cardboard tube any more! And the best part? It's completely reusable! Simply unscrew the cuff and make sure the gripper arms are clear and the lifter is fully retracted, the old tube should slide right off making room for the new tube! Once the new tube is in place, tighten down the cuff until it clicks over the detente at the end of the threading and you're ready to continue deodorizing! The new tube should start in a ready position but once you're ready to start lifting, just turn the twist-handle clockwise (from the top) and have more product at your finger tips. ******** You will only need to use supports for the "D.S. Lifter Body," everything else should print well without them. You should set your slicing tolerance to "Exclusive" for all of these parts. This will make sure there is enough clearance around the threaded parts as well as the print-in-place joints. I would recommend setting a slight hole off set for the "Lifter" and "Cuff" parts. You can also use a small hole offset for the "twist handle" if you're concerned about the hole being too tight or you can aim for a nice interference fit like I did.
