This sander works well for sanding plastic it doesn't make it too hot like a Dremel. it sands at the right speed to have great control. I haven't tested with other grits of sandpaper yet. I have also sanded wood filler with it. It worked so well for me I am posting it now, but I plan to add more as I use it more.
The Electric Toothbrush is from Family Dollar $4. but many may work it has a 13mm round head I did not use the square brush yet. you would even be able to submerge the head under water for wet sanding.
Items you need:
PLA Filament
2mm x 8mm bolts (Or other if you
drill the holes for them.)
Epoxy (I used 5 minute by JB Weld)
Adhesive (3M Super 77)
Sandpaper
Printing: PLA with 6 wall thickness, 20% infill. this made it very strong for me
I used 2mm by 8mm socket head cap screws for placement and support of the Main adaptor. then snip the heads off then epoxy the adaptor in place.
1. After printing cut the bristles off the toot
