Slic3r PE with non-Prusa Dual Extruder

I am using both a Prusa i3 Mk3 and a Creality CR-X. I'd like to use Slic3r PE for both. For the most part it is working, but I need to modify the pre-print wipe process for the CR-X. The default wipe process prints outside the printable area of the CR-X. Is there a way to modify the gcode that Slic3r PE generates for the wipe process?

Re: Slic3r PE with non-Prusa Dual Extruder

I don't have a CR-X to test on, but this should be fairly straightforward. In Slic3rPE under Printer Settings, you'll see this line:

G1 Y-3.0 F1000.0 ; go outside print area

At this point, the extruder has been homed, so you can locate the nozzle wherever you'd like the prime line to be printed. If you change the Y-3.0 to Y0, you should start the line at 0,0.

Alternately, if you're already using a skirt, you could simply eliminate the prime line or change it to suit your needs.
