Creality K1C Silicone Nozzle Cleaner Mod Easy Bed Plate Swap

NO software modification are required if you have a K1C Just print, glue up the original silicone brush and screw the bracket in place reusing the 2 carriage screws. Now you can use whatever plate you want. I have included a brush mold model so that you can make the brush yourself with some silicone. IF YOU HAVE K1 / K1 Max: I found out that on my K1C: the actual movement algorithm is stored as "clear_nozzle()" [into prtouch.py] called by "cmd_NOZZLE_CLEAR()" [into prtouch.py] called by "cmd_CX_NOZZLE_CLEAR()" [into custom_macro.py]. Finally CX_NOZZLE_CLEAR is used into gcode_macro.cfg to achive the goal: it is used in START_PRINT macro as you can see in the picture. K1 k1c and k1max share the same firmware so I think that if you own a k1 or a k1max and your firmware is updated to the last version you have all what you need to run the CX_NOZZLE_CLEAR routine. PROBABLY you can do the cleaning by modifying your START_PRINT macro [into gcode_macro.cfg] adding CX_NOZZLE_CLEAR like in the k1c file (picture). I don't know if it will work. If you decide to try it let us know. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media
