Purge block

Would it be possible to put a purge block between the printed object and the tools and only use it when the heads change? So move the z up to the height of the purge block. Or will it take to much time and save not much filament or prevent oozing issues.

Regards,

Arjan

RE: Purge block

Print Settings > Multiple Extruders > Wipe tower > No sparce layers (EXPERIMENTAL). Tick this.

I've used it with the MMU on the bedslinger but I haven't tried it on the XL yet; I assume it does the same thing. It doesn't necessarily have to be between the print and the tools. You just have to make sure the X-arm(?) doesn't knock anything over when it makes its up/down movements.

I dont think its quite as useful on the XL since the prime tower is already comparatively minimal. You're probably better off just shrinking your tower with its other settings. I guess if you have a print that is only multi at the top then it might help, but Z-movement is so slow you might be better off just wasting filament instead of time.
