Here is a more useful
      astronomical based project. Getting that last drop of toothpaste
      out of the tube can be a real problem for the astronomer getting
      ready for the big night. So to alleviate this, I designed up
      a key roller with the key the shape of the planet Saturn to take
      care of this critical issue. Works great!

 Solidworks
            CAD drawing of the design. Looks promising. But what will it
            really look like?
 
        
      

      

        

          

          
 Rendering
            in Visualize. I think this will do the trick.
 
        
      

        

          

          
 Final
            printed part in action! works great, and can accomidate the largest
            tubes, thus solving the astronomers problem.
