Sometimes there is just light snow on your car, then you don't need any scraper - a regular brush will be ok. But what if you don't have it? No problem! Now you can print it! And it is with a telescopic extension! Thanks to this you can reach further on your car roof.
The brush is replaceable if anything happens. The brush is inserted into a small adaptor which has a thread connecting it to the main telescopic body.




The brush is also helpful for cleaning the boots from snow before you enter your car.



So that the brush doesn't feel lonely I have added at the bottom of the hand an extra thread so if you need you can add something extra like a scraper (or another brush if you want :) ).

I'm uploading a clean insert detail if anyone would like to make a longer brush or other designs.

I recommend printing the brush in PETG as PLA might be too brittle.

Printing instructions:

  1. Telescopic hand

    Layer height: 0,2mm
    Number of perimeter walls: 3
    Print both the inner and outer parts in the same place
    Add an external brim only to the outer part for stability

     
  2. Adaptor

    Layer height: 0,2mm
    Number of perimeter walls: 3
    Infill:20-25%
    Printing orientation as below

     
  3. Brush insert

    Layer height: 0,2mm
    Number of perimeter walls: 2
    Printing orientation as below

    You need to cut the thin wall with brim with a knife or scissors


     
  4. Scraper and scraper adaptor

    Layer height: 0,2mm
    Number of perimeter walls: 3 
    Infill:20-25%
    To increase the strength of the scraper you can add more walls and infill
    Printing orientation as below

    The dovetail is designed to not fall of when pressing but if the tolerance is too loose you can add a drop of glue.
