This is one of the best 3D printing projects I've seen in a long time. Everything about it screams EXCELLENCE. The design is easy to print and use, the jig makes foolproof as all products should be, and the video is nicely shot and edited. The whole package (design, jig, instructions, video) can only be the result of an exceptional, empathetic mind. I don't know what your day job is, but I highly recommend considering a career in product design. People like you contribute to making our world a better place.

[@DanielSchweinert]

Thank you so much! Im not a product designer but I just happen to be a director of photography, technical draftsman and a technerd in general :-)

[@TrueRewire]

Neat solution to a definitive problem. Really wish Bambu would partner with Diamondback for non-stick high-performance nozzles. 99% of my failures or features being messed up on my Bambu is because of filament sticking to the steel after a movement or some strange behavior regarding the filament getting caught on the nozzle.

[@TheOfficialOriginalChad]

It wouldn’t be a partnership, but rather license from. Bambu has nothing to contribute to Diamondback’s extremely specific and proprietary manufacturing process. Considering volcano Diamondback nozzles are $100, they would cost a fortune after running through Bambu. To be frank, filament sticking to the nozzle shouldn’t be causing you much trouble at all. Consider that its more of an indication that you’re over-cooling

[@DanielSchweinert]

Applying a tiny bit of PTFE oil (at room temperature!!!) with a q-tip on the nozzle works wonders. It's the same as that expensive plastic repellent fluid from slice engineering for nozzles.

[@BenWolkWeiss]

​@@DanielSchweinertPTFE breaks down at 300c so don't do this if you want to print PC or other engineering filaments.

@TrueRewire - Lookup BIQU Panda Revo Hotend. They partnered with E3D to make a rapid nozzle swap which allows E3D Revo hotends.

[@sammuxlow]

Silcone tube has a temp tolerance of 200 C, so it will wear over time/melt. But with the tube length you get off bambu (2m), you can easily replace the tubing, after all, bambu's nozzle wiper is a consumable already. I did something similar with a silicone sleeve around a brass brush. Also works great!

[@DanielSchweinert]

I have the silicone tube since the beginning and it's still like new. Tried to melt the silicone tube with a soldering iron from Weller nothing happened.

[@Todestelzer]

I replaced the ptfe tube of the original wiper with some 6x4x2 silicon o-rings. Didn’t had any poop on the build plate for months now after doing it.

[@DOSEDKID]

Are these compatible with the a1 mini as well?

[@DanielSchweinert]

@@DOSEDKID not for A1 or mini they have already a silicone wiper integrated.

[@DOSEDKID]

@@DanielSchweinert ah I see, Thank you.

[@bosskbountyhunter100]

Any concerns about the amount of resistance vs the print head causing damage when swiping the tubing?

[@DanielSchweinert]

What resistance? Its a silicone tube it has way less resistance than the original wiper because its really flexible. I saw other wipers online using steel brushes and PTFE brushes those could bend your hotend.

[@enosunim]

Nice mod, I guess it will look nice on my Ender 3 = )

[@DanielSchweinert]

Thanks! Sure, someone else adapted it also for the Prusa XL too.

[@flex2flex640]

Would a brass bristle work even better?

[@DanielSchweinert]

I think there is also a model on makerworld which is using a cheap brass bristle from dremel. Never bothered with it since I made my silicone wiper and it's working for me and others perfectly well. Im not sure but I think that "maybe" molten filament could fill up the brass bristle and stay stuck overtime. Silicone is repelling it - thats my only concern or maybe Im wrong.

[@5Lax]

Awesome design. Any data that shows it works better than the stock Bambu wiper?

[@DanielSchweinert]

Thank you! Just read the comments on makerworld ;-) also I use it in my own printfarm. The original wiper didn't worked well for my PETG prints, therefore I had to do something and I came up with this solution.

[@stevekay6895]

I need this !!!

[@DIYtechie]

Cool👍🏻

[@DanielSchweinert]

Thank you!

[@DIYtechie]

@@DanielSchweinertDo you have the link for the specific tube used? Just to make sure I buy the right one.

[@DanielSchweinert]

@@DIYtechie follow the link on makerworld and then scroll all the way down where it says BOM (bill of materials). There you can purchase it directly through Bambu Lab

[@darkalleywaystudio3975]

Does it work with high temperature materials like ASA?

[@DanielSchweinert]

I didn't tried ASA yet but I printed with ABS.

[@codemaniafox492]

Where can I buy the silicon tube？

[@DanielSchweinert]

follow the link and in makerworld just scroll down to „Bill of Materials“ there is a purchase button directly from Bambu Lab.

[@chrislambe400]

Get a yellow Olfa cutter knife and lose the gloves. PETG is quite sticky and during one print it made an blob on the nozzle. Will this help?

[@DanielSchweinert]

Thank you but I love those gloves when filming 😄 I worked outside and my hands look fairly worn. Yes it helped tremendously with PETG but you also have to dry it before printing no matter what, to get perfect results. Also applying a tiny bit of PTFE oil (at room temperature!!!) with a q-tip on the nozzle works wonders. It's the same as that expensive plastic repellent fluid from slice engineering for nozzles.

[@chrislambe400]

@@DanielSchweinert Thanks for the tip about the tip. I found some Wessses Fettspray mit PTFE in der Garage. That sounds like the oil you are referring to.

[@teknostructures4629]

Does it actually work? Does it clean all around the nozzle?

[@DanielSchweinert]

yes thats why came up with the design. It's print farm approved :-)

[@MrBleulauneable]

@@DanielSchweinert Show it working then. The nozzle was already clean in the video

[@rijlqanturis625]

​@@MrBleulauneableor make one and try it yourself.

[@nassozeebo]

Doesnt the printer have a nozzle cleaner?

[@DanielSchweinert]

yes it does but it's not that good cleaning the nozzle completely especially if you want to print with PETG. This one is waaaayyyy better.
