Description
Wanted to have a way to clean the nozzle before the printout as there's times where the nozzle is pretty dirty. I decided to have it in the front of the bed as the nozzle would be able reach that. Instead of making a separate piece, I added it to one of the corner holders.
I used the brushes from the local HomeDepot (https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-Brass-Mini-Brushes-3-Pack-BMB3-HDX/206453088) as I already had some on hand and can always get more if needed.
Currently, I mounted it on the left side of the bed, but I also added a right side as I might move it there.
I also marked this as work-in-progress as I haven't had the chance to upload the changes to my firmware to add the G12 command to my start gcode.
Added pictures of the brush mounted on the right side. I actually rather have the brush on the right side as so it doesn't get in the way of homing.
Added a video with the G12 P1 command. I had set in marlin to do 2 passes and return to the previous point.
