Wow, great printing! I reached out just this week to a few local 3d print shops to print me a bath brush. One said that brushes could not be printed because the bristles had to be embedded. But, here you were 4 years ago printing brushes! so Wow!
Thanks dude! I'm testing your brissles design for a Roomba, as a first test instead of designing my own, because I assume it would've been a lot of tests to get to that arrangement printing right, right? :P I'm also doing a video on my Roomba repairs, is it OK to include that, and link to your channel and thingiverse? My engineering channel isn't even up yet and it might be a year before the video comes out, but thought it polite to ask anyway! Does look like I'll have to have a go at thickening up the threads lol but not sure yet.
Yeah, RUclips is hard, I'm really sorry bro. I spent 6 months on one video and earned $200 selling models on my second channel, it's really disappointing every time.
Could you make a 3D printed feather using the same technique as your brushes? All fethers you buy are dead birds :( I don’t like dead birds, I want plastic feathers ;D Also, if you could find some smart way to adjust the flow rate so each hair on the fether tapers off that would be even more amazing :D Though that might require too much G-code manipulation to be worth it.
What do you use them for? Costumes/accessories? I think you could achieve the general aesthetic without the hairs being individual. Perhaps a TPU print with a stem that has flaps running along either side in the pattern of a feather? That way it would be both flexible and durable for prolonged wear. You could design little notches in random sections of the flaps to resemble the hairs being pushed apart. The geometry of those little feather hairs is quite complex at microscopic scale, so I'm not sure whether this technique could be used to reproduce them accurately. The way they behave is dependent on those microscopic structures. If those structures aren't replicated, I suspect the feather wouldn't look or act quite like a real feather.
@@canwenot573 I need them to tickle people under their feet, so they have to have "hairs". Even if the hairs are stiff it would still tickle a lot! Also, if you print them with a shiny PLA they would look great. With a 0.2 mm nozzle they would look even better, but 0.4 would probably work well enough. Ideally you would want to induce stringing and have the nozzle travel back and forth a bunch of times and get tiny actual "hairs", but the brush design probably works well enough to tickle people under their feet.
@@beaconofwierd1883 I see. Well I'm not sure how well the feathers would come out, but I hope you can find a solution there. As you said, I'm sure the brushes would work great for that. If you could manage it, a dual material brush made from TPU and some other, more rigid material like PLA would probably tickle a lot. 😂
How did your pc handle so many bristles when designing it? I'm using fusion 360 with a fairly decent pc. And it really struggles to mess with the STL's you provided.
Im sorry to hear that you had trouble with that one! What was the issue? Maybe I can suggest some printer settings? This one should be a lot easier (and faster) to print. Just make sure you use a lot of cooling and 0.4mm line width and 0.2mm layer height. I only used cura to slice this one, not sure how other slicers handle this. Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
Great video man, I was looking for this and I will try them for sure :) But what about the overall resistance? And also, do you have any tips about the petg printing parameters?
hi! Hope I'm understanding your question corectly; I moddeled them as squares and extruded them, then patterned them with the desired interval ( a little trial and error here), the dimensions of the bristles were 0.2*0.5mm (0.2 in z- direction). I needed the bristles to be a little wider then the line with to get the slicer to slice them. Please feel free to ask if something is unclear :) -SunShine
@@mattpatton1983 jupp, but it might also be a good idea to extrude multiple bristles at a time, depending on the software you use, paterning anything 1000 times tends to slow down the best of workstations.
I'm curious -- have you experimented with different thicknesses of the bristles yet? It could be useful to have coarser bristles or finer bristles depending up the application.

Awesome! I've thought about doing this exact technique for a bouldering brush as well, so you saved me some work 😜Also, thanks for the shout out
Oh shit! Its Devin! I'm a big fan! Glad I could save you some work^^
Devin, do you know how we can design our own brushes, and maybe shows us a little tutorial?
Wow, great printing! I reached out just this week to a few local 3d print shops to print me a bath brush. One said that brushes could not be printed because the bristles had to be embedded. But, here you were 4 years ago printing brushes! so Wow!
I would potentially use the TPU brush as a paint brush.
Thank Hackaday for sending me your way, great vid, great design
Thank you for telling me! I already left a comment! Welcome to the Chanel! :)
So cool! Using this tonight.
How do I reach you about printing the bristle brush in TPA?
Very cool! Thank you for designing that!

Now I'm wondering if these brushes could be printed to make a motor
Really cool. Great work.
Thank you! :)
I love your creativity.

These are amazing. I would love to print a durable brush like that

It might be a good way to make some paint brushes. I'm stoked when I see how much they cost...
Very interesting! After completely failing to print the coin purse i will definitely try this one! Good job, keep going!

very creative idea, congrats
use steel plat scissor, its Longer and sharper than regular scissor
Can you use a dual extruder printer and use different material for handle and bristles?
Cool!!
I was going to buy toothbrush. But then I saw this
How is it possible you only have 20k subscribers?
Holy moly, this is so cool
Glad you like it :)
I printed a broom.
Great video man, I was looking for this and I will try them for sure :)
But what about the overall resistance? And also, do you have any tips about the petg printing parameters?
Hey! Thanks! what do you mean by resistance? just standard PETG settings with 100% cooling fan
PLA?
Thanks and much encouragement from Spain
Thanks! :D
the "super small test brush" looks just like the toothbrush I had in intergalactic prison
Are you from Denmark?
How did you actually make the bristles? I’m trying to make a brush for work but not sure how to make the bristles.

Wow, so if I understand correctly each bristle is a separate small square extruded to a desired height. Thank you very much!!!

Using fusion3d software on an older laptop. I just don’t know how to extrude multiple points at once
I’m new to CAD programming. But I believe I will be able to figure out that portion of the design. I really appreciate the information thank you
PLA or PETG for teeth?
petg
That's clever.

Please switch to fixed focus. The camera keeps flipping in and out of focus. Also be consistent in how you present your items. Overall good video.
Thanks for the comment! Sadly I noticed too late that my camera was set to autofocus, next video will be better!
PETG ABS O PLA??
