this was inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3033662 

this is my first model which is a hexagonal filament cleaner which is used to clean and collect/clean debris and dust that has accumulated on a filament spool which may cause problems with prints. this model is much smaller than the one i drove inspiration from and uses about 0.01m of filament and takes around 10min to print  with my current print settings.

i designed it in this way so it could be incorporated into printers that may not have a lot of space for a filament cleaner and so that it can be made using minimal materials

assembly instructions 

• use some sort of spongy material like a sponge or foam that can collect dust or debris  and cut it to size 
• before inserting sponge into the filament cleaner, first insert a piece of filament through the hole (1.75mm filament) and move  back and forth just so it loosens up the hole 
• then remove the filament from the hole, slide the cap on and push the filament through your chosen material 
• now push the filament back through the hole and clip the cap on 

DISCLAMER

the cap will be a tight fit at first by after a couple of times of removing it and putting it back on it will loosen 

hope you enjoy the print
