Create a option for a wipe pillar

It would be nice to have the option of a wipe pillar and possibly a built in option to set a standby temperature.

Right now I have a dual color nozzle where I place the unused nozzle at a standby temperature. When in standby It doesn't really ooze it just needs wiped before using the fully heated nozzle. Right now a ooze shield and a prime pillar for me are not needed other than to wipe the nozzle once and waist filament and increase the time to complete a print.

The wipe pillar will prime the nozzle but doesn't need 100 infill. In addition of priming it would also guarantee that any unused nozzles cross the outline of the pillar to wipe any hanging filament.

So a wipe pillar would have the following options:
Size or width, infill, shell outlines, speed muliplier, location.

The wipe pillar could also be combined with prime pillar by adding infill and outline option. If infill is less than 100% enable outlines else the outline option is grayed out. Call it wipe/prime pillar.

Re: Create a option for a wipe pillar

I agree, I'd like a wipe pillar with <100% infill. Seems very wasteful to infill 100% and you risk overfilling it and having it catch on the nozzle, which defeats its purpose.
