Just a concept, that I have tried out for several weeks now and it works good. Made it for my homemade Prusa i3. Mechanically should work for all Prusa i3 derivates.
This is a very easy to build nozzle cleaner. I used PVC clear and drilled and sawed it to my needs. Will upload an .stl for those who cannot make something like this on their own. But should be very easy without that. Or you can do it much better.
I have tested the concept and it works great.
The idea is to run the nozzle over those 3 zippers before any print. The zippers are usually made of nylon, so they will stand the heat, but still after dozens of usages will wear out.
I have a Autobedleveling system, so some of the moves before printing are not so easy to programm. I wanted the nozzle to be clean BEFORE the ABL starts to avoid wrong results because of an oozing nozzle or remains of a previous print on the nozzle.
The cleaning station uses three zippers which were cut and bend so they reach above Z=0.
