Cube3 Silicon Wiper Replacement

[bolsoncerrado]

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.

From your thingiverse profile... "I've also completed a hardware mod of the Cube 3 printer to allow the use of standardized M6 extruders."

Have you shared this anywhere?

Not yet, but soon. I have a drafted post that should be done by Saturday. Got a little busy here with work

If only there would be "printable silicon filament" hah!

Updated my original post with a corrected design, and with an SVG

TPU may melt quickly if wiped while hot hmmmm


What is an M6 extruder anyway?

[ztoddman1]

my material I am trying will be here today and will use the SVG for the laser cutter. will report this weekend when I finally get a day off. thanks for the SVG file.

Same print head that is in your Prusa.
