Re: Plastic whiskers on central spindle: Design Secrets Revealed
We used strip brushes from mcmaster. I believe we went with 3" long "whiskers". We attached them using the mounting strips that mcmaster also sells and just screwing them into our ABS drum. After switching from foam, and later surgical tubing to brushes, our helix no longer had jamming or stalling issues.
I also want to say that we did get the idea for the brushes from 148's video after pausing it and carefully investigating. Before the brushes we were having lots of issues with "dead" spots in our helix, so thanks 148 for posting that video. |
