Fully 3D Printed Brushes! 

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?

Thank you! :)

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!

Thank you for telling me! I already left a comment! Welcome to the Chanel! :)

Hey! Thanks! what do you mean by resistance? just standard PETG settings with 100% cooling fan

Glad you like it :)

Thank you! Welcome to the Channel!

Thanks! :D

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

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

@@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.

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

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. 😂

Thank you! :)

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.

@@MrTako-kf6on Have not done that yet, its on the agenda, however my laptop died about a month ago, and i have been trying to get it fixed, once its back i'll deffo make an update ^^

Thanks for the comment! Sadly I noticed too late that my camera was set to autofocus, next video will be better!

Its in the video and stls are in the description

Can you give the time marker at the video where you show any instructions, ?@@TurboSunShine

Also, there are no instructions in the description, @@TurboSunShine Your Thingiverse channel has no instructions on how you designed these, or even how to print them. There is no instruction as to how they are oriented on the printer. There is no footage of them being printed. Nothing. So Im really not sure why you say "its in the video"... Maybe its a language issue......I know English isn't your native tongue. Thank you again for directing me to where and how these are created.

@@martinkoch4332 print in the orientation the stl file is opend, 100% parts cooling fan, otherwise standard print settings with no supports. There's nothing more to it :)

How did you design it? What 3d software? @@TurboSunShine
