Nozzle Wiper Spring Leaf

Given that I’m now 99% sure I’ve been printing with this “Nozzle Wiper Spring Leaf” thing broken since the day I received my printer, does anyone know what this part actually does?

I thought it was just a flat blade, but I now see it should have a whole other piece over the top of it.

I can cope with parts failing…but Creality’s refusal to provide a comprehensive list of “consumable” parts (and critically an easy to access way to obtain them) is a huge problem.

Yes I can email customer service…but I’d assume that’s not going to go on forever…at some point I’d like to get a true idea of the running costs of this beast

It seems the honeymoon is over vis-a-vis the free parts from Creality Customer service. For the nozzle wiper spring leaf and the rubber nozzle wiper tape they are now suggesting Amazon; the only trouble is it’s a veritable jungle of variable prices and dubious quality.

Or, apparently I can order from China…for an extra $30 delivery charge!
