I am new to 3D printing and have a question, what is the purpose for this extra object when printing multiple colors?
(I would have searched the archives if I knew what it is called.)
Thank you
It’s the wipe tower.
It’s there to allow purging the remaining filament of one color when switching to another color.
Purging and pressure as well I believe? To my understanding it allows the pressure to build up in the nozzle so that when it goes back to the model it doesn’t doesn’t have a pressure difference at the beginning of the layer

I gave a detailed response to this’s the other day including advice on when it is required and the settings.
Thank you, I appreciate the explanation.
