Quite the opposite, there's a reduction in hair buildup along the brush's sides, necessitating less frequent cleaning. The brush demonstrates remarkable durability and resilience. The brush depicted in the images has already undergone more than 180 hours of cleaning in our household and shows just small signs of wear. Printing:The brush is printed in two parts:The outer part is printed in TPU in my case i used Overture TPU from Amazon. The brush is designed to be printed on its side. To achieve an optimal cleaning experience, use these settings: Perimeter: 2Infill: 10%Infill pattern: gyroidSupports: NoBased on the TPU you use, you may have to change the infill density to achieve a similar flexibility of the print. For the inner part I used PLA, but it may be also a good alternative to use PETG.  I printed it laying flat to ensure good layer orientation and used support for the holes on the side.Perimeter: 2Infill: 20%Infill pattern: gyroidSupport: Yes Assembly:To be able to use this design, you need to glue a small M3x10 screw on the end of the inner tube.Make sure that the screw is properly aligned.Now simply push the two printed parts together, and you are ready to use your newly printed replacement brush.To install it into your Roborock reuse the two gray Plastic rings and the black metallic part from your old brush.
