Systems, methods, and new file formats are provided for printing 3D microstructures. In some implementations, a new file format is provided that defines 3D objects by a wireframe model expressed as a collection of wires. Because wires and their parameters are defined within the new file format, objects may be processed more efficiently and quickly to support 3D rendering operations. Such methods may be used to print new articles, such as eyelashes, bushes, swabs and other novel items.

An interdental cleaning device includes a handle. A cleaning head assembly is mounted on the handle. The cleaning head assembly includes a head that is mounted on the handle, the head defining a cavity. An interdental cleaning member is mounted on the head to extend into the cavity, the interdental cleaning member including an interdental cleaning element. A plunger is mounted on the head, the plunger being reciprocally displaceable relative to the head between an operative position in which the plunger is at least partially retracted into the cavity and an inoperative position in which the plunger extends from the cavity. A spring mechanism is interposed between the plunger and the head so that the movement of the plunger into the operative position is against a bias of the spring mechanism. The plunger defines a longitudinally extending passage that is dimensioned to accommodate the cleaning element. The interdental cleaning member is positioned so that the interdental cleaning element extends from a distal opening of the longitudinal passage when the plunger is in the operative position and is positioned within the plunger when the plunger is in the inoperative position.

A beauty tool includes a handle portion configured to house an associated heating assembly and a bristle portion connected to the handle portion. The bristle portion includes a primary heating element configured to be heated by the associated heating assembly. A bristle base heated member is mounted to an outer periphery of the heating element. The bristle base heated member has a secondary heating element configured to be heated by the primary heating element. A non-conductive, heat insulating bristle spacer is secured between the bristle base heated member and the heating element. A bristle bar is secured by the bristle spacer and has bristles extending through the bristle spacer and the bristle base heated member. The bristle spacer is configured to thermally isolate the bristle bar from both the heating element and the bristle base heated member.
