usability-update, 3 months later: looks like new. no heat-damage to the brushes. highly recommended!

I know, we are all lazy! So I designed it for the comfort we need ;-)

This time you will get the same convenient automatic cleaning of your nozzle, but now you can pay 5$ to save you an hour of DIY-hacking-time.

  • Buy a pack of 12 Nylon-brushes for 5$ on ebay: http://goo.gl/HbVT9r
  • Put each of them into the printed mount
  • Mount the whole assemble and adjust it to the prefered position (it should just touch the nozzle and not the heaterblock)
  • write a START-Gcode to move the hotend all accross the mounted brush
  • Be happy with a clean hotend
