This document explains how to use the Wippe suite, using Magneto X as an example.
¶ 1. Concept for Nozzle Wiping
First, to clean the nozzle before printing, a small portion of the print area needs to be sacrificed. As shown in the diagram below:
We need to attach the nozzle wiper felt within the designated nozzle wiper region.
On the Magneto X, you will need to manually adjust the X-axis travel. Modify the maximum travel of the X-axis to 312 in the printer.cfg file:
¶ 2. Attaching the Nozzle Wiper Felt
Use the provided 3M adhesive to fix the felt on your PEI sheet, as shown in the diagram below:
¶ 3. Determining the Felt Position
Using Klipper’s Move tool, move the X/Y axis until the nozzle aligns with the side of the felt. Note down the X and Y axis values at this position.
¶ 4. Setting Up the Nozzle Wipe Macro
The macro for nozzle wiping on the Magneto X is as follows.
Copy the two position coordinates of the felt you obtained in the previous step to x_1, y_1, x_2, and y_2:
[gcode_macro MAG_WIPE_NOZZLE]
gcode:
{% set iterations = params.ITERATIONS|default(10)|int %}
{% set accel = 12000 %}
{% set x_1 = 308 %}
{% set y_1 = 15 %}
{% set x_2 = 308 %}
{% set y_2 = 305 %}
{% set EXTRUDER_TEMP = params.EXTRUDER|default(200)|float %}
SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT ACCEL={accel} ACCEL_TO_DECEL={accel / 2}
M109 S{ EXTRUDER_TEMP }

After completing the setup, you can place the MAG_WIPE_NOZZLE macro in any location where you need nozzle wiping, such as under the PRINT_START or PRINT_END macro definitions.
Here we suggest you to put it in the PRINT_START macro (macros.cfg):
