Multiple wipe towers?
Have been working with PLA and PETG on my recently received XL5. Both PLA supports for PETG print and vice-cersa seem to work fine. PETG interface for PLA supports on PLA are OK too. The problem that I have is not with the part, but with the wipe tower. Since the materials do not stick to each other well, the wipe tower rapidly becomes a globby mess that can occasionally transfer to the part. This could be easily solved if there was an option to have a wipe tower per extruder. That would use a bit more material, but make a range of mixed materials possible. Am I missing the way to do this, or is it something that should be an enhancement to the slicer?
RE: Multiple wipe towers?
No multiple towers, but you can set one tool that doesn't stick to others as the shell of the prime tower to make it work.
Or just don't use a tower since 20mm retracts on park are default settings now. If you do this method instead you probably want to enable "infill before perimeters."

Thanks for the suggestion -- I will give it a try. I am certainly looking forward to improvements in Prusa Slicer as they get the time to address more multi-material issues. What it can do now is really great. But what it _could_ do will be amazing.
