Description

Previously, wipe tower behavior was determined by the printer model.
In this PR, we introduced an option that lets users choose which wipe tower type to use.
BBL printers remain hardcoded to Type 1. Qidi profiles default to Type 1.

This may be useful for users with a filament-cutter-based system (similar to Bambu printers) who want to use similar configurations—they can select the "Type 1" wipe tower. That said, Wipe Tower Type 2 is generally recommended for all printers, whether they use a typical MMU setup, a filament cutter, or a tool changer.
