I’ve been using this for about a month now. Signed up on Patreon. Yes there’s a fee for the complete setup but I’ve had no flung poop, and no bits laying around.
Also has some tricks in the gcode that you may find helpful.
Yes you have to drill into the printer. If you change your mind you can easily print plugs that look great to fill the holes.
Give it a try. There are copy cats, people stealing half the idea. This is the original.
What is on the Patreon, aren’t the design and the gcode on makerworld?
You get the basic files on MW with the basic start gcode.
Backers also get updates, and more options. Quicker startup, eventually adaptive leveling (only where you’re printing, can’t remember what ist’s called. Available on older firmware right now), and some others. Check out the patreon for full details.
I took the jump and screwed the wiper in, drilling holes. It has to be screwed in, something those that try the copycats are going to find out when they use tape.
It’s not expensive, and he does updates quickly as well as keeps everyone informed.
I’m a cynical bastard, and I like the guy…
Thanks, honestly I have been wanting to upgrade the wiper, but can’t get past the drilling holes part. This seems like a better option to me: X1/P1 Compatible A1 Wiper Carbon Filter Mount by LiamRay10 - MakerWorld
Well even if you don’t want to add the wiper and still buy the code, there are options you can toggle that are useable with the stock set up, although won’t help with the wiper.
Watch the vids on the MW page. He does a good job of describing the options and how it works.
I noticed that he mentions non AMS P1S. It does now work with the AMS on the P1S and the X1C.
That’s one of the copy cats, essentially stole most of it from him.
Use at your own risk.
Yeah I would much rather use his, but I can’t find that part on Bambus website, and I don’t really want to drill holes into a part I can’t replace.
You’ll find that tape or filter doors won’t cut it. If the screws aren’t your thing then I’d wait
I have printed and mounted the wiper, no problem.
The files include a “Basic Wipe Cycle.gcode” but there appears to be nothing that I can find that tells you where to paste this in the various GCODE text boxes that are in Orca Slicer.
Am I missing something as I have watched loads of videos and googled and can find no reference to this.
There is a link to documentation, however that documentation looks incomplete where the instructions are listed as being " 3. G-Code Overview and Setup, however the documentation ends at section 2.3.
Pick a nozzle setting. Choose to edit the nozzle and you will then see a tab for machine code.
Click on that tab and you will then see the different boxes for start, end etc.
Cut and paste into those boxes whichever you want to use. Be sure to delete the current code and paste the new in. Then save the nozzle renaming it to whatever you wish.
I don’t mean to but into the conversation and usually never post but here goes. I’ve tried numerous nozzle wiper solutions, some help some are total failures. My recommendation on the SteinWipe is pretty simple really. You get what you pay for, I down loaded the free wiper from Makerworld and while I made a few simple mods, i.e, reduced the template drill holes to 3mm for more accurate location and switched the backer plate from nuts to inserts, but that’s it. This solution just plain works! Nozzle is always clean, prints are also cleaner with no “nibs” from a dirty nozzle and fewer leveling errors due to nozzle plastic buildup. I’m also pretty sure the silicone sock will last longer to due to lack of hot plastic burn, however that’s still a wait and see issue. This is the best solution to date, it can be aligned perfectly to avoid ripping the silicone wiper out of the tray and is easy to change. I not dissing anyone but I’m seldom impressed with solutions and modify nearly all of them to a great degree to improve the function for my use. Not so here, a lot of work went in to making this right and needs no changes to function as designed. I love it and went and paid my $18, worth every penny. BTW, stick on “stuff” is asking for trouble, don’t ask me how I know, just believe it! Oh heck, it’s your machine and your money, stick away, look at it as an educational expense! It gets my recommendation for best wiper design, my first for ANY design!
It seems I am missing something. What do I get except the (suspiciously) mounted wiper with the A1 wiper pad? I ask honestly, because I am a bit hesitant to award someone’s machine startup g-code which I can create myself the way I want. So, what exactly prevents me to mount a similarly designed wiper and customize my nozzle wiping routine to do exactly that?
Or even better, let me rephrase: why is this worth downloading and permanently fixing on the printer by drilling holes in it? I’d like to hear more.
