Description

The Nozzle Wiper V3.3

I have designed this new nozzle wiper for my 8 X1C. The original wiper isn't effective and when I got my A1 I saw how great the A1 wiper was so I decided to adapt an A1 wiper to my X1C.

This is the third version, fixing each problem version by version. This solution cost me less than $1 and now my nozzle is always clean, which reduces defects on my prints.

 

I have tested this wiper for over 80 hours of printing without any problems, I printed mine with Bambulab PC as I use a lot of high end filament that requires an active heat chamber.

 

The A1 wiper is available in the official Bambulab store at an affordable price.

⚠️ Use a material that can handle the heat, like at least PETG.

⚠️ Use my print profile marked as designer to make sure you are using the latest version of this model.

INSTALLATION:

  1. Remove the screw holding the original wiper - Using the larger allen key.
  2. Cut an A1 silicone wiper, counting to get 4 rows, and install it on top of the new wiper, I recommend removing the double sided tape and using CA glue.
  3. Remove one or both of the purge chute screws located at the top of it - Using the smaller allen key.
  4. Insert the part, the back first and press the front to fit into the purge chute and screw the 2 screws back into place.

UPDATES:

3.3: 2024-11-09 Latest 🎉

  • Fixed printing problem with model.

3.2: 2024-09-08

  • Added chamfer to provide more clearance for aftermarket build plate.

3.1: 2024-04-26

  • Added more clearance (0.5mm) to the build plate due to a problem with the non-Bambulab plate touching the wipers.

3.0:  2024-04-20

  • With the previous version, people had problems with mounting due to differences between printers and filament calibration. The print is now fixed with one or two screws from the purge chute. This makes it more stable on the purge chute.
  • I changed some of the structural parts of this new version to make it stiffer and less prone to deformation when the chamber heats up.
  • This new release fixes a purge issue after the first layer inspection (X1C) where the toolhead would purge on top of the wiper.
  • I had a problem with the screw holding the original wiper, the screw didn't provide enough support, so I decided to design a new way of holding the wiper.

BENEFITS:

  • No Brims
  • Designed for FDM Printing
  • Smooth Operation
  • Clean nozzle
  • Tight Fit
  • Hold by screw
  • No additional part needed

Attempted to print in bambu lab basic abs, 0.2mm, 3 walls, 100% infill, 50% speed. Print failed, I noticed in the slicer afterwards the area in blue is only a single wall, this area is too thin, even if you print with petg and pla supports, the model needs a few layers extra there. I tried switching to a 0.16mm layer height to see if we got two layers in that location but we don't, it just gets thinner. I love this model, I printed version 3.1 in silver abs a while back and came back to switch to black for more of a stock look. Ill probably just remix the model privately and fill that location, material doesn't matter to me, I want a strong model. I print with ABS and nylon allot, I think petg just isnt a good idea for me. Thank you designer! I hope my feedback helps future designs!

I had the very same problem at that part of the print. I'm also using (freshly dried) ABS.

I've tried printing this model 5 times now and cannot remove supports from this area. Getting frustrated.

Print was perfect however the end of the poop would get caught in the silicon and since it's attached to the rest of the poop, it just got stuck there. This photo shows it after I pulled at it, but usually the whole poop just gets stuck there, connected to silicon. Am I doing something wrong?

I get the same issue, it works well otherwise but does lead to a clog eventually.

The corner of the wiper is interfering with the plate. I tried repositioning the plate but it didn’t fix it. I had to shave the corner of the wiper to make space for the plate, but now it’s working.

The edge of the wiper plastic ended up running into the tab on my wham bam build plate. Looking at the other posts, it seems like the margins are fine with the bambu plate but I haven't tried. Any reason I couldn't move the arm thing over a millimeter or two or is the positioning super intentional? I cut off the side to get the clearance, but I am not super confident the wiper won't come loose, I could glue it, but the clearance still isn't great like this.

I ran into the same problem with the BBL engineering plate. Had to shave a corner of the wiper, now it’s working

Mine ended up completely failing, and the wipe no longer stuck. I modified the model so the "pad" is offset toward the other side, and it doesn't stick outside of the plastic bucket. Works like a charm, and no clearance issues or anything of the sort. Hopefully 3.1 fixes it for others though!

Yes, v3.1 has more clearance with the build plate. Just be aware that in your version the wiper may be too much to the left and the tool head will purge on top of it during layer inspection on X1C, if you're using a P-series printer it's ok. (had this issue with V2)

So it printed great but the part of the flex plate that goes out slightly hits on the corner sometimes during the z homing, has this happened to anyone else?

I've created my own version from scratch that clears the build plate and also acts as a poop retainer after seeing another comment about purge onto the A1 wiper part for V2 of this model https://makerworld.com/en/models/438841 (image attached) perhaps it will work better for you.

It looks fantastic! It is also very easy to print. If it solves half of the problems I had with cleaning the PETG, you have my boost guaranteed :D

I add screenshots of my settings. Maybe they are not the best, but they worked for me... As you can see, I used the "Bambu Support for PLA/PETG" spool for the support raft interface. My PETG spool is a ESUN Solid Black

So far so good! I was having issues with poop being ejected onto the rear Z-Axis screw (twice it halted a print), hopefully this will prevent that. I was printing back and forth between PLA and TPU that day... Printed this model using PETG, with PLA support material, which detached easily.

It's been a couple days now and I've been printing like crazy. It only just now occurred to me that I haven't seen any ... poop down in the print chamber -- it all makes it out the chute! Previously I was always finding strings and full clumps lying about...

A flawless model and easy to print I adapted it for my own use and added the standard wiper I didn't want to do without Since uploading the model as a remix is not permitted I'll simply keep it for my printer After the first layer inspection the extruded filament is guided into the container Only with very hot printed filaments might a small amount remain This is however extremely rare Thank you and best regards

Filament gets stuck in the grooves of the wiper. not any better they just all hang out there. I'll be removing this and going back to the standard wiper.
