Wipe nozzle via GCODE

Hi!

I am printing with cura and the adhesion is quite bad, if I clean the nozzle it sticks but if I leave it for the initialization (auto-level, etc) the extruded filament just sticks to the nozzle and curls up. This is my start code:

;Sliced at: {day} {date} {time}
;Basic settings: Layer height: {layer_height} Walls: {wall_thickness} Fill: {fill_density}
;Print time: {print_time}
;Filament used: {filament_amount}m {filament_weight}g
;Filament cost: {filament_cost}
;M190 S{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line
;M109 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line
G21        ;metric values
G90        ;absolute positioning
M82        ;set extruder to absolute mode
M107       ;start with the fan off
G28 X0 Y0  ;move X/Y to min endstops
G28 Z0     ;move Z to min endstops
M117 Auto-level...
G29        ;auto-level
;G92 Z-.01 ; Lower = Z Pos, Lift = Z Neg

G92 E0                  ;zero the extruded length
G1 F100 E30              ;extrude 10mm of feed stock
G92 E0                  ;zero the extruded length again
G1 F{travel_speed}

I am using a prusa i3, 190C/60C PLA 1.75, 0.2 mm layer (0.3 mm initial layer), is there any well known gcode to wipe the nozzle? or... is this "self sticking" nozzle problem related with something else? maybe I should apply something to the nozzle like oil? get another nozzle? etc

It's probably not making a huge difference, but why are you resetting Z zero .01 above what autolevel determined?

10mm of feed stock, with 1.75mm filament and a .4mm nozzle, is going to leave a 191-mm string hanging out of the nozzle (and that g-code will actually extrude three times that). It doesn't surprise me that won't stick. If you want to do a purge like that, your machine needs to have some kind of physical feature that will knock the extruded filament off the nozzle, and you need to drive the head to the location of that feature and move it so it knocks the filament off cleanly during or after the purge. The g-code will depend on what feature you make and where you put it. Most basic RepRaps, instead of doing a purge, just print a skirt first and consider the first part of the skirt a noncritical sacrificial print so the hot end is operating in a stabilized condition before the actual print starts.

Hey thanks for answering. I discovered that the nozzle is actual y between .9 and 1 mm! Using some drill bit set. How did you calculated the 191 mm string? I want to check the nozzle size exactly

Volume out = volume in

volume of a cylinder = pi*r^2*length
vol out = pi*r^2(out)*L(out)
vol in= pi*r^2(in)*L(in)

pi*r^2(out)*L(out)=pi*r^2(in)*L(in)
r^2(out)*L(out)=r^2(in)*L(in)
L(out)=r^2(in)*L(in)/r^2(out)

Yes, I am aware about the conservation of the volume, however is fairly different for the slicer. I noticed that my prints improved a lot after setting 0.9mm as nozzle but I am still trying to hit the sweet spot
