Paintbrush/Makeup Cleaning Pad Mold

thingiverse

Have you ever had to clean a makeup brush or paintbrush by hand? It's gross and totally unproductive. My cleaning pad makes that problem a thing of the past. The purpose of this tool is to deep clean out the residue between the bristles of the brush, while also keeping its shape and quality intact. With a quick splash of soap on the pad and some water to rinse it off, your paintbrushes and makeup brushes will be as good as new in no time. The actual model I printed was a mold of my custom designed textured pad. Instead of using a hard filament pad, I thought it would be smart to use silicone instead. If you're interested in making this mixture for yourself, here's the link on how to make "Proto-Putty": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fwytA5r2Mw&t=190s. I also printed out a flattener for the bottom of the mixture when it was still in the mold. This way, it finished off with a perfectly flat surface.
