K1C nozzle wiper with A1 mini brushes

Disclaimer:

My A1 Mini nozzle wiper is missing “teeth” because an earlier design didn't hold the probed pads on good enough.

You will need to have your printer rooted to be sure it will not interfere with the probed area.

Needed materials:

Print the part out of a higher temp material, PETG, ABS, etc.

An old nozzle wiper from a K1C build plate

Instructions

Cut the original K1C nozzle wiper pads off at each end, cut more than you think you may need, cut until they are a press fit into each inset square, this is to ensure they don't get knocked out over time.

Cut one of two of the A1 Mini nozzle wipers until it is a press fit, if it is to loose they will come out over time.

Remove the two screws at the rear lead screw, start the screws in your new part then reinstall.

Then update the software!

Update software:

If you haven't rooted your printer yet here is a guide: https://guilouz.github.io/Creality-Helper-Script-Wiki/firmwares/install-and-update-rooted-firmware-k1/

Navigate to your printer.cfg file and change bed_mesh.

[bed_mesh]
speed: 150 
mesh_min: 5,5
mesh_max: 215,212  #This is the thing that you need to change so the nozzle doesn't hit the edge of the nozzle wiper.
probe_count: 6,6
fade_start: 5.0
fade_end: 50.0

Cyclops extruder

If you have a cyclops extruder on a K1C the software change will be different along with the wiper itself.

I only changed two lines in this but it'll probably be easier to just copy the entire things
