Color change without wiping
Hi, I'd like to change colors without any wiping. I'm using Slic3r PR 1.41.2. Unfortunately, when I have a multipart-multicolor print and I uncheck the wipe tower option, the gcode slic3r generates doesn't actually do a color change correctly.
Let's say I'm printing in 2 colors. When I start, I'm printing in color 1, then when it begins printing the color 2, instead of retracting color 1, it just leaves filament 1 in the print head and then tries to advance color 2, which of course fails. Is there any way to accomplish what I want in the current software?
Also, is there a way to minimize the size of the wipe tower? Using a second wipe object ( wipe into this object is selected) doesn't seem to change the size of the wipe tower in any way.
Thanks!

Wipe into object makes the wipe tower much less dense.. . But same size
