Wipe & Prime Tower

I believe it is used when you are doing multiple filaments. The system will build a tower next to your model, and use it to wipe off excess filament and prime the next color. Not sure if it is for dual extruders or switching between filaments on a single extruder.

    I have dual extrusion, the reason I ask the default setting is I accidently bumped my keyboard when I had it highlighted, so it deleted the default numerical setting.

    What is the default numerical setting?

    15 is the default value.

    Is there a way to increase the plate area of the tower. It keeps getting knocked off after about 40mm, which ends up ruining a long print? Even to give a brim to help it stick?

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
