Note: Must already have the new CFS firmware installed for the printer to use the new placement of the “napkin strip” (ver 2.3.5.xx).

This mod serves 2 purposes:

  • Takes out any guesswork for the correct placement of the nozzle brush/cleaner
  • Only requires 1 nozzle cleaner for multiple bed plates in any style, for easy swapping

It uses the official brush from Creality (hopefully they start selling replacements now), so you can reuse one from a K1C bed plate or the one included in the CFS upgrade kit

Designed with maximum clearance in mind for various exhaust fan mods

Highly recommended to print with a high temp filament like ABS or ASA (or better). My prototypes were printed in PLA-F (green) and it barely survived long enough to print the final in ASA (red).

I don't know if the K1 Max uses the same placement as the smaller K1/K1C/K1 SE, so if you try it and it works LMK

 

PS I don't know why it's called a napkin strip
