Description

Brush head for cleaning. Print in Place. Cut it. Stick it on a pencil. Ready

Inspired by @cartyski 

 

Print Settings:

-use a Layer height of 0.3mm
-use a ductil filament, PLA might be to brittle
-disable part cooling
-use the classic perimeter generator, arachne will weaken the bristles.
-disable automatic supports
 

Due to the lack of part cooling, the hexagonal holes for the pencil might need supports. 
If you print it with supports, use paint on supports, for best results use organic or tree type supports. Don't support the bristles.

 

After printing you need to remove the supports and cut the two brush heads apart in the middle of the bristles.

 

I don't recommend this brush to be used as a toothbrush. The bristles are pretty hard. It works as a cleaning tool for example for 3d printers or prints.
