Cube3 Silicon Wiper Replacement
Anyone up for a template? 
I'd say it's 1.5mm thick silicon, with the following shape:

I'm working on it. computer acting up right now but it is on the burner.

Here's a prototype that I quickly designed tonight (Not sure how far you've gotten on yours, zToddMan1... my other wipers are starting to break, and I wanted to make sure I got something down to print in case it did break). Since I don't have my caliper right now, I'm unable to verify the accuracy of this one. I can also release a vector for CNC/laser cutting these, if there is enough demand. I'm not sure what these should be printed in. I only print PLA on my cubes, so for similar use-cases, TPU may be a viable solution?
Anyways... enjoy! I'll edit this post with any updates.
Edit 1. I've measured and updated the File. I also printed a test wiper in PLA, and it fits like a glove. I may try some TPU later.
Edit 2. I've also added an SVG, in case any of y'all wanna try laser cutting this out.

Have you shared this anywhere?

TPU may melt quickly if wiped while hot hmmmm
What is an M6 extruder anyway?
