Read below before printing or you'll get a useless part.
This is an improved version of a wiper that uses Bambu Labs A1 (non-Mini) silicone wiper pads that you can source from several places. It is inspired by a few ideas from other wipers and has several improvements that I preferred:
It allows height adjustment
It has a slight curve to eliminate wipers peeling off
It is designed to print cleanly with or without tree supports
It allows M4 screws to fit since most extrusion nuts are M4
It has a thin wall between the screw and the mounting point, allowing use of shorter screws
It is modeled from scratch to a similar size as the original. All geometry is clean and manifold with no annoying embossed logos or designs, because who wants to advertise for some internet rando? 😉
I recommend printing the STEP but be aware that it includes a second part that should be converted to a modifier to allow for denser infill to be added around the mounting slot for strength. Once you add that part, split the object to parts in your slicer and apply 50% infill to that section for super strength.
If you print the STEP file without separating or removing the second part, you will have no screw slot!
For setup, see the photo. Get it as close to the build plate as you can and adjust the height so the full conical part of the nozzle rubs against the pad at the right edge. For depth positioning, setting Y to -8 should center the nozzle on the pad.
