Description

I've tried about a half-dozen different wipers, and they all had pros and cons. This one combines several features found in other designs but has been redesigned from scratch in CAD.

This design uses an ~11mm cutting from an A1 nozzle wiper. (The wiper's adhesive backing should be fine, but add a dab of super glue if you want it to stay for good!
The extra wiper is positioned to the right of the stock X1C nozzle wiper, which remains in its usual place. Get the benefits of both wipers!
Placing it to the right won't be in the way when the nozzle comes to rest before and after the first layer inspection and during filament changes. This means there shouldn't be any build-up of purged filament getting stuck between the stock wiper and the additional A1 wiper, as is the case in versions where the extra wiper is placed to the left.
This design has a lot of inherent stability by filling the full purge chute area. I've added an optional screw hole on the right side, for added stability. You can re-use the existing screw located in this position.
The extra nozzle wiper is well supported along the edge of the purge chute frame, making it unlikely to shift during prints.

I'm happy with how this turned out. I've successfully printed it with ABS, but I recommend a material that maintains rigidity at higher temperatures. I've also printed it with PET-CF, and it worked very well!

Enjoy!

Force of the head seems to have broken one edge of the wiper holder. gonna try again with superglue

Replying to @bing :

thanks for the feedback. I may adjust the height of the walls that retain the wiper, as they probably don't have to be quite as tall as they are. After a lot of printing, mine seems to be holding up well, but it was also printed in PET-CF, which may be contributing to its sturdiness.

Roller and wiper are looking a little rough a week later. it's securely screw mounted, superglued (wiper came off without) printed in pet-cf.

I'm planning to add a notch where the nozzle tends to clip the front edge of the platform onnwhich the wiper.is mounted. I'm also experimentong with using a narrower bit of wiper to allow it to be positioned a little further away from the tube, allowing it to flex a bit more and have a bit less wear and tear. Ive seen almost no wear and tear at all when printing exclusively with lower temp materials like PLA. From what Im seeing so far, its doing an excellent job of cleaning, despite the wear. The wear is a sign of good contact between the nozzle and the wipers, which is ultimately what is cleaning off the nozzle. When we adjust it so that the roller presses more softly, it starts to allow bits of fillament to remain stuck to the nozzle, and just presses it up the side of the nozzle with the roller. When we lower the rubber wiper to reduce wear on the wiper, the wiper no longer collects any particles left behind on the edges of the nozzle. I'll do my best to reply with a comment if I produce an updated version that strikes a balance. But right now I'm very happy with the way it is function8ng, despite the wear. just replace the rubber wiper as needed and the snip a new piece of bowden tube to replace the one on the roller.

thanks for the reply!. agree that the roller needs to flex a bit. I think a bit of sagging and my poor gluing left my a1 wiper up a bit high, causing the damage...

After trying a number of nozzle wipers, this one turns out to not only fit well, but also seems to be working pretty well. I did have to add some super glue to glue down the wiper. I've done some multicolour prints since, and so far it is working. I used Polylite black ABS.

Is there any chance you could make a version that supports the A1 wiper instead of the A1 mini? Seems to be a well designed part, and I am excited to try it.

The designer has replied

@woozle

the rubber sticky replacement wiper for the build plate wiper on the A1 is exactly what I used for this. Just cut it down as shown in the picture. https://ca.store.bambulab.com/products/heatbed-nozzle-wiper-a1

@woozle

I just noticed that I wrote A1 mini in one spot on the description. This is definitely designed for the A1 wiper pad, not the A1 Mini pad. I hope that helps!

That is great to hear! thanks for your prompt feedback. I will be trying this as soon as my wiper arrives

I've tried many different setups that include the A1/ A1 Mini nozzle wiper and none have been as good as this one, It allows the stock wiper to still function while perfectly adding the additional wiper from the full sized A1. My nozzle comes out consistently cleaner than it did prior to adding this, and I've yet to experience any downsides. Every other model I had was a trade off while this one seems to be a straight upgrade. Thank you!
