Wipe and Prime Tower A wipe and prime tower is a sacrificial structure printed alongside a multi-material or multi-color model to purge old filament, prime the new material, and clean the nozzle. It prevents color contamination, oozing, and under-extrusion during tool changes. Advanced slicing software customizes tower dimensions, density, and purge routines for efficient material usage. Proper configuration enhances color separation, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy. Wipe and prime towers are essential for dual-extrusion, multi-material, and high-resolution color prints, ensuring high-quality aesthetics and functionality. |
