THIS DESIGN WILL NOT WORK IF YOU HAVE FIRST LAYER SCAN ENABLED!!! THE PRINTER WILL CRASH AND DAMGER THE OEM WIPER AS ITS POSITION HAS SLIGHTLY CHANGED!!!
VERSIONS
Version 1.1 (10/02/2024)
- Added additional material around OEM adapter mounting location to prevent damage during support removal
- Added a PETG print profile using PLA as support (PC or ASA is still the preferred/recommended material of choice)
Version 1.0 - Original Release
BACKGROUND
Shout out to the OP of The Scrubbler by Adam L and one of it's remixes, Scrubbler V2 by br1acc. This is the best design I've found that uses the A1 nozzle wiper. It is essential to retain the OEM X1/P1 wiper in conjunction with the A1 wiper so that way it flings the stringed filament prior to scrubbing the nozzle. Otherwise the stringed filament get's caught in the A1 wiper as I have found in other designs.
MODIFICATIONS
- Removed locating pin features on the Adapter Mount (not needed because you are located by the radius'd feature and the mounting screw). This allows for the Adapter Mount to be printed in a more desirable/stronger orientation for screwing in the thread forming screws.
- Removed the thin wall of the counterbore where the Adapter Mounts to the printer for a cleaner print.
- Replaced a radius for a chamfer where the OEM X1/P1 wiper mounts to eliminate printed overhangs, resulting in a cleaner print
- Re-sized nozzle wiper support box to better fit a 3X4 nub wiper size.
NOTES:
- I recommend using PC or ASA as the print material as a hot nozzle will be passing over top. PETG might be acceptable but is not recommended.
- Pre-threading the holes with the thread forming screws prior to installing on the printer is recommended.
- You MUST CA glue the A1 nozzle wiper into the wiper box holder as the adhesive tape eventually gives way. I have 3 of the wiper mounts in the print profile so you can assemble some spares.
- Using a utility knife (I use the metal bed scraper blade by pushing down), cut the A1 nozzle wiper into 3X4 nub sections for installation.
