Description
This tool I made is to clean blanked and string weed brushes by pulling tangled blanket weed and debris right off the brush. It's a lot easier and less messy than a wire brush
It looks like a mug with a vertical slot down one side and rigid internal blades. The wider open end slips over the brush pole bottom, bristles facing in.
This will fit over poles upto 23mm, let me know if a I need to make the lot bigger.
How to Use
Slip the slot over the brush shaft near the brush head, the wider end (shorter blades) should be nearer the brush head, pull the brush through 2-3 times so the blades scrape off the weed, then tap to drop the debris. Rinse when done.
Printing Tips
I printed mine in PLA at 0.28mm layer height with 4 wall loops and 4 top/bottom layers—works great, though PETG might be better if left outside. Settings are flexible.
