Description
These compact straw cleaning tools are designed to hold a paper towel at the tip, functioning as an effective swab for cleaning straws, tubes and pipes. Even the largest 8mm one takes only 1g of filament and a few minutes to print.
I included models for five different sizes - 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 8mm. If you need a larger one, leave a comment and I'd be happy to add it.
After printing, just insert a piece of filament of any length into the 1.8mm hole at the base of the model. Have a long tube to clean? use a long piece of filament! Just need to clean a short straw? Use a short piece of scrap filament!
When I printed these, the friction was enough keep the filament attached, but a dab of super glue may be needed if your prints are looser.
I also posted a model with a printed handle if you need something more rigid to scrub with! https://www.printables.com/model/1118994-pipetubestraw-cleaner
