Side-loading treat-pouch squeegee

A slim squeegee for the last of a cat-treat pouch. V2 loads from the side: slide the pouch in through a flared mouth instead of threading its sealed end through a closed slot.

66 × 26 × 6 mm
Side-loading slot with a 2.4 mm working throat
Flared mouth and reinforced closed end
Textured finger bars
About 43 mm of working length; touches only the outside of the wrapper

One printed piece in PLA or PETG.

Prototype: physical testing is pending. Not yet for sale.

How to use it

Open the pouch as directed on its packaging.
Slide a section of the pouch sideways into the flared mouth.
Grip the textured bars and draw toward the open end, catching the contents in a bowl.

Before you try it

Use only with pouches that slide in freely. Stop if the bars spread, a seam snags or the wrapper scuffs.

Where it is in development

Editable CAD and Bambu P2S print projects exist for this revision, and digital checks passed for watertight geometry and slicing. Physical fit, strength, wear and real-world performance still need testing before any listing.

What changed in V2?

The first design used a closed 44 × 2 mm slot, so the whole sealed pouch base had to pass through it. Side loading makes V2 easier to load, at the cost of some stiffness. Physical testing will check whether the bars stay closed.
