My inspiration were these detangler type of brushes I use for detangling curly hair
When I began to look for objects around my house that had holes which could form the bristles I remembered this peg solitaire set I had 3D printed using PLA material at home
This model was created by Longhill1975 Solitaire game box and posted on MakerWorld
I decided to reuse this set for a mold and wanted to add a cotton fabric to the other side for more stability and test out how my own fiber work might fit into robotics
I cut off this in progress loom weaving I had been working on for a while to use as a dishcloth
The yarn used was from Wool and the Gang a Pima cotton in Eucalyptus Green
Cast
I used 22g of silicone A and silicone B of the Eco-Flex 00-50 from class in separate cup
I used Blue silicone dye I found in the cabinet with our materials in the shop and mixed that while mixing parts A & B
Prototyping/ Testing
Pump
I bought a pump from my local drug store at Duane read from a manual blood pressure kit
Cardboard
Packaging
Wavy cardboard from wine bottle stabilizer cardboard
Lessons Learned
Using Mann-Release in the holes worked better than I expected
