Creating prime pillars to ensure cooling time wastes filaments.
Adding a wait time setting as shown in the following figure to the Ooze shield option eliminates filament waste by the prime pillar and easy to control the cooling time.
How about this?

Benefits of this method
　Reduction of filament waste.
　Cooling time can be specified in seconds.
　Since unnecessary printing runs out, it reduces the mechanical load of the printer.
　Easy to develop programs of this function.

I don't understand how is ooze shield using less filament then prime pillar? If you can elaborate I'd be grateful

As for using the "wait time"? Note that if you just do "dwell" (G4) you will have oozing so you do need to prime your nozzle before you start printing after G4, IMO something like:

1. move to a predefined "safe" XY position (XY configurable of course)
2. execute G4 with some seconds, where this "seconds" value should be configurable as "constant for all layers" or "constant - layer time"
3. prime
4. continue printing

In any case, adding DWELL support to S3D +++++++++++++++++++++++ from me

As shown in the figure below, OOzeShield thinks that filament consumption is less than PrimePiller. I made a program to convert GCODE files with C #.
It is currently under adjustment. In addition, I am creating a conversion function corresponding to the contents described below.
f=9&t=7436

I'm sorry. I'm not good at English. I am using Google Translate.
Therefore, I may not understand all your advice.

Thank you.
