Oozing over print while going to wipe tower

Hi

 

I recently conducted my initial test print using the Five Tool XL and encountered an issue with nozzle oozing. This results in blobs forming along the nozzle's travel path to the wipe tower. The tool doesn't navigate around the print, leading to blobs on the external seams of the model.

I think this problem is solvable through software adjustments. Currently, the nozzle doesn't attempt to avoid the print while moving. This means that if the nozzle oozes while returning to its dock or the wipe tower, it risks leaving blobs on any part of the model in its path.

 

Here is a demonstration:

Observe how the white tool on the left side aims to travel to the wipe tower on the right. In doing so, it moves across the entire print, leaving behind unwanted blobs, as indicated by the red circles.

 

The result:

In another test using Pikachu, I relocated the wipe tower to the back of the print, hoping that the issue wouldn't be visible on the sides. However, this change didn't eliminate the problem; it simply moved it to a different area as the nozzle oozing is causing blobs to form on the seams at the back.
