Pellet Stove Cleaning Brush (www.printables.com)

I own a pellet stove that has a heat exchanger with extra long cast iron “fingers” (see photo). This needs to be cleaned regularly. The challenge is, a standard brush attachment's bristles are too short to do this properly. This vacuum attachment solves that problem. It fits a Loveless ash vacuum but should also fit other ash vacuums as the hose size is pretty standard. Print this in PETG for strength.

The resulting print is designed to accept a length of bristles cut from a CNC dust shoe brush with 70 - 100mm bristles (choose whatever you need). One of those is enough to make several brushes. I used a small amount of urethane glue to attach the bristles (mist lightly with water first).

Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.
