Brush with travel case

Brush with travel case. Originally intended as a beard grooming brush but it turned out to be a great all-around brush. Included in the print is a protective case for keeping the brush safe when traveling, carrying it in a pocket, purse, or bag. The bristles are fairly stiff when printed in PLA. The brush holds up well while using it, but the thin bristles break easily unless the brush is kept safe in the case. To store the brush, put it in the case with the bristles facing the two ridges - this will keep it secure in the case. Print the part with standard settings for PLA; the bridging seems to work well without any special settings. Remove the brush from the case using a cutlery knife - no sharp knife is needed as the bristles are easy to break free from the wall. Do small cuts from all directions, cutting only a few strands at a time to avoid breaking the bristles. It probably works well to print the brush in other materials. Scaling up the brush is also an option if you need a larger brush for grooming a pet or some other use.
