Topic: Hot end brush question

I was thinking about making a hot end brush by using a steel dremel brush and running the hot end over that before and after each print.  I envision creating a clamp with two holes that I can jsut drop the brush into so that I can change it out later if need be.

Can anyone foresee any problems with this?  The only reason I ask in advance is because I suck at modelling so I really don't want to build something that is ridiculous from the get go.
