I like francfalco's Pencil pencil case (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1880138) and my daughters asked about a paintbrush - so I decided to model and print one.
Since printing mine, I made the handle a little thicker and then scaled everything down 75%.
The Crimp does require supports for the nubs - ensure that you print small end down as the nubs are near that end. I found after printing that I needed to heat the numbs with a lighter for just a second to soften the plastic so I could press the numb back into a circular shape - mine was a little oblong.
The Bristles were a very tight fit into the Crimp. I found it easier to carefully heat the open end of the bristles a little to soften the plastic and then press the bristles into the wide end of the Crimp. Then I followed up with applying some Elmer's Glue to the end of the Bristle and reinserting it into the Crimp and letting it dry. Any glue that oozes out the top was simply wiped off and made into a seal around the edg
