pipe cleaner filament duster

Post by Batteau62 »

I've tried a couple ways to do this. Brushes, foam, etc. this is the latest:

-Cheap...a pack is less than a couple bucks at any craft store.
-Quick to replace.
-Zero drag on the filament. Wrapped around a spare bowden tube to get the coil.

Good idea.
I suppose this could potentially cause static charge which may result in dust being attracted (or repelled) to it. Who knows.
