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.

And you can make cool animals from the pipe cleaners too! Excellent.
