Another version: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/10338-e3ds-toolchanger-adjustable-cleaning-brush
AUTO WIPE YOUR NOZZLE would be a great option in PrusaSlicer
You could sell this : https://e3d-online.com/v6-silicone-socks-pack-of-3 "helps with sticky materials like Co-Polyesters and filled materials that like to build up on nozzles"
RE: PETG Anti stringing Brush upgrade
Uhm... No thanks. Better to calibrate your filament settings to minimize ooze. A brass brush is not good for coated nozzles. I'm not too impressed with the Design Prototype Test YouTube channel cited in the Hackaday article. Expect to see a video where he claims his ideas have been stolen.

I do calibrate for minimal stringing, but with big prints (>12h) there is sometimes a small accumulation of materials, and then a blob appears.
RE: PETG Anti stringing Brush upgrade
Makes sense. Some other printers do have a brush built in. Definitely try a coated nozzle and silicone sock before doing anything too drastic. The DPT guy is a bit... interesting sometimes. He puts out videos on common themes, then claims ownership of them and whines about being ripped off if anybody does anything similar.

Glad to see someone else feels that way about the DPT guy. Watched a few of his and a) I question his judgement on things and b) he seems to want to claim ownership of the world.
