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:
- Remove the screw holding the original wiper - Using the larger allen key.
- 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.
- Remove one or both of the purge chute screws located at the top of it - Using the smaller allen key.
- 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.

- No Brims
- Designed for FDM Printing
