Yes, look under the Wipe Tower Settings. There's a setting for the tower width, and a setting for the tower angle.

Where is the "Wipe Tower Settings"? I went thru all the settings and I don't see anything labeled as Wipe Tower... time for new glasses???

Easy to miss - Under Print Settings Tab, Select "Multiple Extruders", you'll see it there:

I've had a couple of complex prints that the only way I could fit the wipe tower in was by changing the "Rotation Angle" to 90 degrees.

Michael,

Thank you very much... I guess I do need new glasses (or brain) because I could have sworn I had been up and down all the settings and I didn't see that. I saw certain wipe functions under Printer Settings, but no where else.

Don't beat yourself up.  They changed so much (for the better) that we now have to relearn the program.  I also have missed items that appeared obvious once they were pointed out to me.  🙂
