THE ULTIMATE NOZZLE WIPER

I print a lot of PETG with my Bambu Lab P1S and was a little disappointed with the original Nozzle Wiper it didn't cleaned well enough. That's why I came up with a simple and inexpensive solution to get a perfectly clean nozzle. All you need is a good quality silicone tube. I tested mine with a soldering iron (Weller Digital set at 250°C) and it didn't melted at all. STEP file is included in case you have a silicone tube with a different diameter.

HINT: Someone on Facebook “Thanks Avianna!” told me she is putting a tiny bit of high smoke point oil “she is using grapeseed oil” on and around the clean nozzle. The oil does wear off after a while but you just keep a q-tip near by and a tiny bit of oil. Takes a second to apply. Lasts for days if not weeks. Makes for consistently clean prints ensures enhanced print quality with cleaner and more precise prints by repelling plastic and preventing buildup. Apply the oil at room temperature not at printing temperatures! It works like this expensive plastic repellent fluid from slice engineering. TEFLON or PTFE oil should work too. Use at your own risk. Just wanted to share this information with you guys.

Printing:

Keep it simple and print it from PETG and 15-20°C hotter than usual. PETG has very good layer adhesion and resists higher temps too. Don't print it from ASA/ABS or it will break very easily because ASA/ABS has in comparison bad layer adhesion.

Quality Silicone Tube (200-300°C)

You can find the silicone tube on amazon or if you're from germany here: https://schlauch24.de/Silikonschlauch-Meterware-3-mm-x-7-mm

It is also available on aliexpress here: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32608855966.html

Outer diameter = 7mm

Inner diameter = 3mm

Cut to exact length = 19mm (this length is barely touching the silicone sock from the nozzle)

Cut approx. 3mm deep into the cross section, offset by 90 degrees

Installation:

Push the silicone tube down until it touches the adapter. Re-use the screw from the original wiper. I also made a thicker segment on the pin to prevent the tube from slipping off. I have also strategically positioned the pin so that the nozzle passes right through the center cleaning the nozzle perfectly. Happy printing!

SILICONE TUBE CUTTING JIG

I also made a simple cutting jig to easily get the correct length and cross section cuts, here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/95952

Here is a short Youtube video showing how it works:

great idea, have yet to install it!

@technerd

the tube looks a little bit too thick might not have enough space there to be mounted properly.

@JayFai

that’s what I thought as well, I will try it or else have to get another silicone tube size after Christmas :)

@James_Rega

Did the thicker tube work out?

@Brouk10

Geil! Habe einen zweiten dazu geklemmt. Nozzle wird mega sauber. PETG hat keine Chance mehr 😆

The designer has replied

@technerd

Danke für das Feedback! Probier auch den Trick mit dem PTFE Öl an der Nozzle. Habs in die Beschreibung geschrieben.

@SilenceR

I love this idea, could you please post the STL?

@cruz1383

well I printed it and it has an issue when the x1c does the first layer check and it goes back to the poop chute it doesn't go to the same position that it does during a normal filament change. When it does this it poops on the ultimate wiper and gets poop all over the side of it and it sticks to the wiper. I don't know if the G-code can be altered to make the head go to the same spot when it does normal filament changes?? . Or alter the cleaner so its more to the right??

Printed the gig and this and both came out great!

@ChrisMan

is this in clear PETG? because I got some and would like to print it out in clear

@wyld

Replying to @ChrisMan :

Yes. It was the only PETG I had at the time. There is a Bambu wiki article about how to make transparent PETG print more clear.

nice quick print, let's see if it works

@jimcorner

Got any update?

@Rick269

seems to work fine, though it does collect bits of filament between the grooves. I may cut the grooves a bit wider to prevent this.

@msinger

@technerd, thank you for making this! The design is simple, prints perfectly, installs easily, and the jig makes cutting the silicone tube a breeze. This mod along with updating the start and end Machine G-code to wipe multiple times is a game changer. The single wipe that Bambu Lab is doing out the box doesn't always allow both sides of the nozzle to be cleaned properly (since the nozzle is only moving in one direction across the wiper).

The designer has replied

@technerd

Thank you very much!

@Anasrocks

can you share where you found the g-code please?

@msinger

Replying to @Anasrocks :

Here's the relevant section of the "Machine start G-code" I'm using: ;**************************************************************************** ;* Extrude filament to ensure the hot end is ready to print * ;**************************************************************************** M109 S250 ;set nozzle to 250 degrees M106 P1 S0 G92 E0 G1 E20 F200 ;extrude 20 mm of filament M400 M104 S[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer] G92 E0 G1 E50 F200 M400 M106 P1 S255 G92 E0 G1 E5 F300 G1 E-0.6 F300 ; retract filament M109 S180 ; drop nozzle temp until the filament stops oozing M106 P1 S0 G92 E0 ; Shake the poop chute lever to eject the extruded filament G1 X70 F9000 G1 X76 F15000 G1 X65 F15000 G1 X76 F15000 G1 X65 F15000 M400 ;**************************************************************************** ;* Wipe the nozzle to clean off the filament * ;**************************************************************************** G1 X120 F10000 G1 X65 F10000 G1 X120 F10000 G1 X65 F10000 G1 X165 F10000 M400

Love it...works flawlessly and it's also less noisy. The nozzle is definetly more clean than with the original wiper

I was a little disappointed by the stock nozzle wiper: I had alot of little "blobs" on my first layers. That had never happend since I installed this! That's a really clever desing ! Works like a dream, my nozzle has never been so clean. I had to print a little jig to fit a thinner tube in the cutting jig. But worked perfectly fine !
