Description

⚠️For .cn users, due to print profile out sync, please go to makerworld.com to download the latest version.⚠️

4 grams only. It is a PTFE bracket, using PTFE as a wiper.

The key to success is creating a well-shaped wiper, with good length to rub the nozzle. If you don't do it carefully, you won't succeed. So the problem is you and not the wiper model. (length of tube? The highest the best.)

Lower profile version is here if the extruder too low and hit the wiper bracket.

4x PTFE actively sweep 💩 out ! (whenever the nozzle hits the left wiper. See the action below.)

Upper PTFE is well above the nozzle level.

PTFE is virtually non-stick. No chance 💩 to hang on it.

Double PTFE V-cut wipers with optimal tilt angle effectively prevent poop from dragging out of the chute!

^^End of executive summary.

YouTube demo link

Printed in PETG or similar for heat resistance and good sweeping action flexibility.

Highlight features:

Effectively sweeps off the poop and wipe the nozzle.

Easy access to the chute for periodic or ad-hoc cleaning during printing.

First layer Lidar scan friendly. 😏

Bye bye 💩💩 Hardly stuck poop chute!

Wiper 360 (No PTFE insert yet. And it is also a 39mm cutting template).

PTFE cutting template 360. Good for startup. And you may need longer to achieve the best results.

Use template to create V-shape nozzle scraper and notched end insert.

(If you don't have any leftover PTFE, you can start with the minimal 1x 39mm and 1x20mm for the left wiper. Cut it from AMS for the time being.😏)

Notched end insert orientation. Longer/deeper side on the left hand side.

4x 39mm PTFE sticks sweep off poop effectively

The wiper itself is a template ~39mm

The reverse tilt arrangement allows for a good balance of purge volume space and also prevent poop from dragging out of the chute.

4x PTFE safeguard the top of the chute "flip plate" from getting 💩 hung up on it.

Base on my timelapse prints, prime tower seems no longer a must.

TIPS and troubleshooting:

⚠️⚠️⚠️Overtightening the screw will wash away the plastic threads of the chute unit.⚠️⚠️⚠️
Follow this link to remove the default nozzle wiper.
Printed in PETG for good sweeping action dynamics.
For new installations, be sure to perform a test run using manual XY control and monitor wiper action against the nozzle.
Spend effort creating a good V-shaped cuts and notched ends.
If the left wiper is too short, it won't create a sweeping action on the 4x PTFE, the nozzle won't clean, and poop will drag out (The first layer lidar scan is the most difficult task to complete😏).
If any wiper is too long, it will damage the hotend silicone boot and create a very noisy wiping action.
FYR, I used the longer template for the left side and the shorter template for the right side. Please report back if that's not the case.
If you're confused, watch the YouTube demo link again. Turn up the volume and feel action.😏
Strongly recommended to download OverEngineeredWiperV1_dryrun.txt, rename to .gcode and copy to the sd card to test and break in the wipers. (gcode start with 3 rounds slowly, pause 10s, 1000 rounds speedy)
Finally, test with the 2xCube print profile with AMS. Or try this multicolours Z-axis shield https://makerworld.com/en/models/773525 below.

Feedback:

Can it also be used on P1 series? All print profile updated. I think it should be good now.
I based this on my X1C. It may contain errors due to machine tolerances. Please notify me if there are any adjustments.
Durability. Is PETG not elastic enough or is it fatigue when sweeping?
…

Good luck and happy printing!

So long 2 months R&D, countless trials & errors, rough tests…..

Want something to test this wiper? How about this spinner with AMS.

And It actively sweep away dirt.

I'm going to have to print the one with one scraper as i hit the issue with it hitting the build plate and trying to print in mid air ;) I see there's a profile. I'll get it done ofter this long print :)

Hi, Does the outer vertical miss the build plate? I really like the 2 but i had to cut the outer off because my prints were trying to print 10mm above the build plate lol 😉

Wiper and Template (Outer wiper vertical)

I tried different styles of wipers and basically all didn't work with my P1S. My printer kept dropping poop and short filament pieces all over. That was until I tried this one. Ocassionally I still get small pieces of filament on my bed, but this design help to make it manageable.

You can achieve perfection by crafting and adjusting the shape of wiper. On my X1 it works prefect! :P

Maybe you can give me a hint of what to check or change? My Nozzle keeps folding over the first (left hand) PTFE tube. please see the photo. I've made a couple of tubes and each one does this. The folded one is the one on the left, a bit taller than the right hand tube (the photo may be upside down). Thanks for any help!

here's another photo

@iczfirz

Wiper a bit too high? You may try just a little bit shorter, maybe 0.3mm and dry-run with the gcode in the model document session. FYI my wiper shape for your reference. This is a low profile model for those who mod the extruder, and geometry of the wiper blanket is the same.

Replying to @iczfirz :

I'll try the shorter part of your template to see if it works. See my other photo that shows the height from the front.

Prints quickly and flawlessly. Very little material required. Fantastic design skills. Uses PTFE tubes most people should have on hand. Easy to remove supports. PTFE cutting jig/template works great Install was very easy. Cleans nozzle very well but sometimes the purged filament can stick to the PETG portion of the nozzle wiper. I make it a habit now to clean around the nozzle wiper when/if filament binds to it. So far I still prefer it over the original wiper.

@iczfirz 😲 I need to print this right now. Very cool. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Impeccable! Pleasing to the eyes.

Wiper Lite and Template 5g 35mins (Outer wiper removed)

The finished product printed is excellent, and the support is easy to remove FIRST TIME I PRINTED A DOUBLE WIPE VERSION, BUT IT WOULD HIT THE PLATE, SO A SINGLE WIPE VERSION WAS PRINTED The PTFE tube made with the jig in the 2 versions is too long, which will jam the nozzle and cause it to lose step, and I have to cut it short by 3~4mm to use it normally

@FAB1150

looks good, but it looks like it sits way too high! what am I doing wrong? P1S, "vertical" one

The designer has replied

@iczfirz

Cut the tube shorter to fit your nozzle. This print is indeed a PTFE bracket. The key to success is creating a well-shaped PTFE wiper. If you don't do it carefully, you won't succeed. Good luck! :P

@FAB1150

Replying to @iczfirz :

Hi! It doesn't show too well in the picture because it's black on black, but the silicone sock hits the "back" of the bracket itself, even with the tubes removed! My printer is all stock, with bambulab hardened steel nozzle

(Edited)

@iczfirz

Replying to @FAB1150 :

it should be almost touch the sock but wont hit it on my X1. Could it be your sock not fully get onto the nozzle?

Great result! Printed very clean, useful cutting tool included. I hope it lasts a while, and the wiper tubes stay in place. Thanks for your design work

Replying to @iczfirz :

I've tested the wiper improvement for almost a month now and I'm still very impressed with the results. It offers a true improvement over the factory silicon wiper, with way less loose filament chunks and poops inside the print area. The following picture shows the total amount of trash that managed to slip by the chute, over a period of three weeks and slightly over 1700 filament changes. Very good!

Replying to @Civver :

Credit to yourself too, since this model is just a wiper blanket. You did a great job shaping the wipers to get the job done. :P

@split_neo

easy print and very well-designed model printing in PETG HF on X1C with 0.4mm nozzle the text of the signature is a bit degraded on my print of the model with two wipers: I think I lost some settings when I repositioned the printer on X1c I have a doubt about the positioning of the two wipers: the left one seems much higher than the right one, even though they both seem to be fully inserted I placed the longest one on the left: is this correct? (I later realized that the precision was to correctly place each tube in its slot)

The designer has replied

@iczfirz

Both wipers should be align to the nozzle.

@split_neo

Replying to @iczfirz :

thanks: I realized the inversion of the 2 PTFE pieces, I corrected it, and they are better aligned. The second tube remains higher than the first, and I cannot see if it is fully inserted. During printing, this second tube was expelled from its housing after a few passes, but the result is undeniable: no deposit/piece of filament on the build plate, with a multicolored print of over 10 hours. I will try to cut a tube to the correct dimensions On the other hand, this highlighted the risk of blockage of the chute by the purges, which sometimes seem to be hindered by the series of tubes: I had 2 interruptions due to filament accumulation.
