A1 Mini Lead Screw Cleaner

While the A1 Mini lead screw doesn't get very dirty, I still wanted to be able to clean it. The cleaner I designed for the X and P series printers won't work on the A1 since the lead screw is almost fully enclosed. My profile has two versions of the cleaner, one that is a little tighter fit for use with thinner paper, like kleenex, and one with a little looser fit for double ply paper towels or shop towels. They are labelled “Looser” and “Tighter” at the top so you can tell which is which. You can test which version works best for you. The looser one seems to work best for me. If the paper towel comes loose from the cleaner just remove it with needle nose pliers or forceps. Update 5/20/2024 - I received some feedback in the comments that this model will not print on the A1 Mini, even though it's designed to be used on the A1 Mini. DOH! I've now added a two-part model printable on the A1 Mini. Pick either the “Looser” or “Tighter” top half and glue it to the bottom half
