<h2>Overview</h2>
|
|
|
|
Scrubby is a filament dust scrubber that prevents any dust from reaching your nozzle and burning, causing partial clogs. My nozzle was clogging regularly and I
|
|
decided to test a dust scrubber, and I have not had another clog for a very long time, so I thought I would make this design public in case someone else can benefit.

<h2>Materials needed</h2>
|
|
|
|
* 8x 6x3 Neodynium Magnets
|
|
* Any cheap, sponge-like material (I cut up part of a scotchbrite kitchen sponge)
|
|
* 2x Scrubby.stl
|
|
* Note: I tested the tolerances in ABS. Due to shrinkage, other filament may make a slightly larger hole.

<h2>Assembly</h2>
|
|
|
|
Assembly is quite simple; press fit or super glue the magnets into each hole, carefully paying attention to polarity. Cut up your chosen spongy material and fit
|
|
it into each scrubby half. Place your scrubby halves together, sandwiching the filament between the halves. You want enough sponge to get a nice drag on the filament
|
|
to make sure it cleans it as best as possible. I put mine right against the bowden retainer, shown in the picture above.

<h2>Notes</h2>
|
|
|
|
I included the solidworks part file and the step file in case anyone wants to modify. Make sure to clean the dust it filters off somewhat regularly. It pulls a suprising
|
|
amount off. Please message me on discord if you have any questions. Happy clog-free printing!
