Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

It would be great to have a way to move to the wipe tower before changing filament. Stealthchanger returns to the last known Z position after changing tools, but has no knowledge of the position of the wipe tower. For us to move the next tool to the wipe tower directly after toolchange we need to move to it before changing.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Add menu option to move to wipe tower before change.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Expose wipe_tower_x and wipe_tower_y for use in filament change gcode.

Additional context

wipe_tower_x and wipe_tower_y are available as variables in the tool change gcode section of PrusaSlicer to achieve this need.

I agree, this would be a huge improvement. I'm currently running several IDEX printers, and the ooze from the idle nozzle gets dragged into the print after the tool change before moving to the wipe tower. Not great...
