SteinWipe Nozzle Wiper For X1 and P1 Series

Boost Me🚀 This project started out as a 100% Patreon exclusive but key parts of the project have been brought over to this MakerWorld release because of your BOOSTS which directly contribute to BBL purchases for testing materials and new BBL equipment for development to grow this project's features and future compatibility to the A1 series and beyond. So, thank you for your boosts! See BOOST Goals below for the next planned additions to this MakerWorld release!

Boost Goals

✅ 300 Boosts - Feature: Slicer layer slider adds wipe cycles by right clicking and inserting a wipe the way you would insert a pause.
✅ 500 Boosts - File system upgrade: No more editing ANY Gcode! The project will use .3MF presets from now on. Simply open the .3MF, insert your model, select your print settings or setting profile, and start printing! The provided profiles will handle all code additions. 
✅ 600 Boosts - Feature upgrade: provided .3MF files can use the following SteinSwitch Definitions: 

• steinwipe_before_abl
• steinwipe_after_tool_change

🚀🚀🚀 Next goal 1K 🚀🚀🚀

Startup feature upgrade: 

The provided .3MF files will have the option for true PA test lines instead of the stock Hockey-stick purge lines💪

What is X1/P1 SteinWipe?

The SteinWipe system, first announced in November 2024, was initially a nozzle wiper system set out to use the full-size A1 silicone wiper pad driven with some custom Gcode toolpaths. Today, the project is so much more! The SteinWipe hardware can now be paired with SWMC to become a full motion control upgrade for your Bambu Lab P1 Series or X1C printer (A1 Series and P2S officially in the works). While this MakerWorld release provides everything needed to get started with the project - the wiper mount assembly, mounting template, a custom program written for your machine to tune your wiper offsets limiting premature wiper wear, and embedded wiper driver Gcode provided in evolving .3MF presets - it's still just a small glimpse into what’s possible with the full SteinWipe Motion Control (SWMC) project, which the full experience with on-going development powered by the Leckiestein Patreon and Discord communities remains a Patreon exclusive. However, your boosts on this project help with material and equipment costs for new development! My commitment to you boosting this project is: as more boosts come in, more features will be added to this MakerWorld release from the exclusive Patreon project so make sure you check back for updates as this release evolves!

 

Currently supported: 

P1 Series + X1C
Upcoming support for SWMC + SSD's:

P2S, A1 + A1 Mini support in development.

What is SteinWipe Motion Control (SWMC)? 

At the heart of SteinWipe is the Patreon Exclusive Dev Pack; a plug-and-play suite of .3MF machine presets leveraging 1,000's of lines of custom written G-code, extensively tested by the Leckiestein community since Dec.2024. Beyond nozzle wiping, the real power comes from SteinSwitch Definitions which are simple toggles you add to your printer notes to enable advanced features and behaviors allowing you greater control for the printing task at hand! Some of these include:

• ⚙️ Customizable SteinSwitch Options
   Tailor your machine profiles by turning ever evolving SSD features on/off using simple tags in the printer notes.
• 🏒 No more hockey-stick purge lines
   Replaced with a tiny True PA Line that is outside the print volume and wont end up being printed over.
• 🛌 Bed Detection on Startup (X Series)
   Bedplate detect before startup begins instead of mid way saving time if wrong plate or misaligned.
• 🏎️ DABL – Dynamic ABL (P1 Only)
   Probes only where needed based on your part location—great for small prints.
• 🚀 Up to 2x Faster Print Starts
   By skipping unnecessary routines (SSD-dependent).
• 🛑 Leave The Filament In
   Option to leave the filament in after a print has finished for faster startup on next print.
• 🎯 Optimized First Layer Travels
   Minimizes stringing for slower first layers and improves wipe-to-start transitions.
• 🧵 Smarter Filament Changes
   Reduces stringing, waste, and purge flings by dynamically adjusting AMS behavior.
• ⏸️ Improved Pausing & Resuming
   Well planned toolpaths to limit purges dragging on to the bed or print.
• 🔄 First Layer Scan Enhancements
   Better motion strategies for more reliably.
• and much more…

How to use this MakerWorld release: 
Installing the wipe mount and provided .3MF (No editing Gcode!)

1. Gather the parts needed
   🔩2PCS M3 button head screws 6mm long
   🔩1PCS M3 button head screw 5mm long
   🔩3PCS M3 hex nuts
   🔩A1 wiper pad - make sure it is the full size and NOT the mini
    

2. Print the first 3 profiles - the wiper mount offset 0.00mm, the hole template, and the backing plate.

3. Drill the holes and mount the backing plate needed to install the SteinWipe wiper mount. Full template instructions here on leckiestein.com
    

4. Run the XY position checker program to ensure your wiper install does not need some minor XY offset tweaks to the wiper toolpath. This ensures your wiper gets thousands of wipe cycles before needing to be replaced. File and full offset calibration instructions here on leckiestein.com

    

5. To use this MakerWorld version of SteinWipe Gcode, you must first get Bambu Studio ready to drive SteinWipe. Head to the downloads area and click “Download STL/CAD files” then download “Gcode and 3MF Presets.zip” and unzip the file. 
    

   
   You can also follow this video here for greater detail.

   Note: Using the Bambu Handy app will not use SteinWipe. You may leave the wiper installed and still print MakerWorld projects from the Handy app without problem. 

    

6. The file contains 3MF presets for the X1C and the P1 series printers meaning you can load the SteinWipe Gcode into Bambu Studio with the preset and not have to edit any Gcode. 

   
   The zip file also contains instructions on how to open and save the 3MF preset to your Bambu account.
   If you have the Patreon Dev Pack, you many also use this video here for detailed guidance on creating a full Machine Profile for SteinWipe. 
   Note: After sending a print using this SteinWipe preset, you can repeat the print using the Handy app and the wipe cycles will function.
    

7. At this stage, you are ready to send a file to be printed using SteinWipe! In this free MakerWorld release, there are only 2 SteinSwitch Definitions available to drive SteinWipe:
    

   1. steinwipe_before_abl
      On startup, a wipe cycle will run before leveling the bed to clean the nozzle.
       
   2. steinwipe_after_tool_change
      On multi material prints, a wipe cycle will run after the material change just before the tool heads back to printing. 

   
   Click here to go to the SteinSwitch Definition documentation for how to use SteinSwitch Definitions and what definitions are available in the full Patreon project. This video here also goes into detail on how to use SteinSwitch Definitions.

    

8. To manually insert Steinwipe cycles into your print at special layers of your choosing, follow this post here or the video from step 5.
    

9. If you've made it this far, congrats! With this free portion of the SteinWipe project, you may now enjoy a flawless nozzle while PETG printing experience!
