FOD Away! ESD safe - bench mat cleaner

As Polypropylene rollers cannot be coated with ESD sprays, we had to made our own handles in house - using ESD safe plastic.

We used it over a years in our factory and noticed an improvement in FOD control and cleaningless. 

Foreign Object Debris is any object, particle, substance, debris or agent that is not where it is supposed to be, and:

• FOD in aviation or a similar environment could create a hazard to aircraft, equipment, cargo, personnel or anything else of value.
• In a manufacturing or similar environment, could contaminate the product or otherwise undermine quality control standards, or injure personnel.

Its is also a crucial tool in removing some stubborn debris, like silicone shaving, carbon fibre powder, glass dust and more! 

I recommend using PLA, TPC,TPU or ABS. Do not use  PETg  as it will tend to shed little bits with the roller spinning. 

We use Mr.Siga inserts, or just generic lint roller refills that can fit. 

Please clean the thread carefully before assembly.

If you are slicing this on your own, make sure to increase number of layers on the thread part, to have it printed with no supports, and in handle section I recommend adding more shells and infill. 

The hole in the handle fits a metal rod, that is commonly used in paper stacked trays, or a small magnet, that can be used to capture small ferromagnetic foreign objects
