Best Settings for Purge Towers and Ooze Shields

I love dual-extrusion and to get the best results I print with purge towers and ooze shields. These are options available inside Cura and other great slicing software. By customising the settings of both you can 3D print with true peace of mind.

The purge tower and ooze shield I show here were made on an Ultimaker S5 using Cura, though, the knowledge here is applicable for all dual-extrusion situations.

Update: Recently for models I want extra-crisp I have been increasing the Ooze Shield Distance from 2mm to 6mm - Tim
