Wipe is a script to wipe the nozzle.
At the beginning of a layer, depending on the preferences, wipe will move the nozzle with the extruder off to the arrival point, then to the wipe point, then to the departure point, then back to the layer.
The default 'Activate Wipe' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.
The "Location Arrival X" preference, is the x coordinate of the arrival location. The "Location Arrival Y" and "Location Arrival Z" preferences are the y & z coordinates of the location. The equivalent "Location Wipe.." and "Location Departure.." preferences are for the wipe and departure locations.
The "Wipe Period (layers)" preference is the number of layers between wipes. Wipe will always wipe just before the first layer, afterwards it will wipe every "Wipe Period" layers. With the default of three, wipe will wipe just before the zeroth layer, the third layer, sixth layer and so on.
