Bring back skirt prime pillar option

Post by frozen.rabbit »

Good for nozzle purge, and bed level check at start of a print. I know I can do a skirt with brim/skirt, but then you can't do both.

The simplest way to do an initial purge is to extrude a line at the front of the bed. there really isn't any need for a skirt.
