Ooze shields are like shells that roughly follow the outline of a print. They are useful on multi extruder systems where the shield is in place to allow nozzles to wipe off oozing filament before engaging with their part of the printed object. Ooze shields have the added benefit that they can replace prime towers to an extend, and the added complication that nozzles must not z hop while crossing them because that foils their utility as ooze shields.
