Description

With the release of both my remix of The Wiper V2 and Maleko's The Wiper V3, I had to adjust my silicone mold to the appropriate size. My remix uses a wiper cut to have 5 nubs but Maleko's requires only 4. Therefore, this model will allow you to make either 1 or 16 silicone wipers with 4 nubs on each.

I used some clear 20A silicone and have seen good results. My X1C came with a small tube of Silicone glue for reinforcing connections but I find that it works great holding this little wiper down as well.

Cool! How does it work?

@jsondag

can you share that version. something you could inject silicone caulking into would be cool.

Thanks!

@Robert_ONeill

worked well. a hint about taking the parts out if you have compressed air. use it to help remove from the mold. first attempt making 16, I got 4 good. figured out at the last one to use air.

Nice trick! Also, I used 20A silicone that comes in two parts. I recommend getting a small pin or something and making sure you can get all the little air bubbles out. I'm glad that you were able to use the print and hope you can have a more successful run next time!
