Purge Calibration Towers
Just posted to Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3102486 .
This is a set of purge calibration towers. They print layers which alternate between two materials, sandwiched between single-material layers, allowing you to easily see if your purge setting is sufficient to prevent color bleeding.
There's four different towers, so you can test the purge settings for 2, 3, 4, or 5 different materials in one print. Every possible pair of materials is tested (i.e. the 3-material tower tests purge between materials A and B, B and C, and C and A).

was that the thing you where working on when I stopped by?
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

Yes.

Yes. So if you're doing the 5-material tower, it tests:
That's every possible transition if you have five different filaments, and lets you test every box on the "Advanced Purging Volumes" matrix.
Re: Purge Calibration Towers
the things you do for SCIENCE!!!!
I've got about 10 10 layer tests ready for when I get my MMU. but I will try your test after i get past 25 layers.
nothing i have done seems to allow me to use the wipe towers AND manual filament changes. i can do one, or the other.
