wipe tower
i like to shrink the wipe tower
how can i scale it?
RE: wipe tower
in prusaslicer under "print settings" "multiple extruders" " wipe tower" "width"
RE: wipe tower
after edit of width to half
from standard 60mm to 30mm
it calculates a very long wipe tower
the area looks the same
i like to wipe less

My impression is the size of the wipe/waste tower is dependent on how much the slicer thinks it needs to purge the previous filament when switching to the next filament. I've heard that there is a setting in PrusaSlicer to purge to infill so the purged plastic is actually used for something other than filling up waste/recycle bins. Try finding that setting to see if it helps. (I would assume that parts with less infill would benefit less from this setting, so as always YMMV.)

@dave-avery
Is there a way to determine/calculate the volume to be purged?
I have just test print my 1st two colour test cube in Cura with a 30mm wipe tower. It wasted a lot of filament. If there was some calculation to know, it would be nice.
Thanks.
