Handy Scraper

thingiverse

This is an extension or attachment to add onto the front of the Mega X print hotend assembly. Two bolts on top can be removed without needing to replace them with longer ones; these will work just fine. It should fit neatly on the front of the Mega X print unit, but I'm not sure about other Mega 3D printers - they might use the same design, so it could work for those too. The scraper's bottom edge is only a millimeter or two above the nozzle tip, making it suitable for even low-profile items, which is its main purpose. Alternatively, you could use the same code and just have the print head sweep taller prints off the bed instead of using this scraper. I still need to figure out how to minimize adhesion enough to let this scraper successfully sweep off my prints. There's a video of my unsuccessful attempt under Post Printing; any help in Comments below is greatly appreciated.
