So far since recalibrating the tool docks, I've had no docking issues. Still using cheap hotends so the temperature struggles to stabilize.

Debate: should this waste be considered "part of the print"? I'm well aware the purge is essentially trash, but the resulting print was only possible because of it.
No one seems to want the waste, but everyone wants a beautiful multi color print.
Final weigh-in: 1007 g filament poop, 202 g purge tower and 489 g of print. That makes 1209 g of waste VS 489 g print, or a ratio 2.5/1 which is quite wasteful!
