Yeah, the amount of waste can be quite large...Prusa MMU is a similar system to mine and it uses Prusa Slic3r to do the purge tower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnOWX4Ujtv8. The newer MMU2 is more advanced, but it still uses same multiple in - one out hotend setup and purge towers.Tutuapp 9apps Showbox
