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.
