9 Frequently asked questions
9.1 Smart Wipe Tower size and additional print time
How big is the smart wipe tower?
Wipe tower is always 60 mm wide and contain between one and three 15 mm slots based on
the model you are printing. If you only two materials are printed at one layer, one slot is
used. Each additional material will add one slot and increase the size by another 15 mm.
One slots takes approximately 1 minute per layer.
In some prints, multiple materials during single layer are used later, but print starts with only
one. In this case the smart wipe tower is still being printed with number of slots from the
most complex part of the model. However, before those slots are actually used, they are
printed with sparse infill to save material. When slots are not needed anymore later in the
print, the number is automatically reduced. This is the reason it is called “smart”.
