I know you can disable the prime tower at a trade off in quality, but why not poop out the priming instead of wasting build plate space?

Am I missing a setting in Orca?

    Poop where?

    That’s why I’m thinking it’s a legacy setting in slicers. All printers made in the past 5 years have a purge chute and wiper. So purge goes out the back and the nozzle is wiped before it starts.

    Well except the new FlashForge multi head printer that purges off the edge of the build plate.

      Uuh…no, not even close to being true. There are still plenty of printers without purge chutes available on the market today.
