Print Three color problem

Hello everyone.
I print with a Cyclops head.
Everything is going well.
Now with three colors .....
Can not have a proper purge tower.
I have three tools in preview, but the process is wrong. :( :(
Which solution?
Cura works but the prints are not good. :(
Sclic 3r does not have a purge tower. :(
Repetier works but Cura engine is limited. :(
thank you very much ;)

Never used three tools but I'm experienced with the scripting areas in Simplify3D what are you trying to accomplish?

Re: Print Three color problem

Hello,
To start my print, To is ok on the machine.
T1 and T2 wait.
To print with T1 or T2, (after retracting T0) I need to advance 50 mm of filament.
At the first tool change, T1 or T2 does not advance 50 mm. Just the normal feeding rate.
So, print without filament for 50 mm.

With 3 colors S3D does not know how to make the prime pillar. So with each change of tools, the rest of filament of the old color is print on the current object.
I can not do a script that knows how to handle this situation.
