I should add, there are other options depending on your goals.
IDEX printers have completely separate hotends, and if used correctly you can get away with little or no waste material at all.
Drawback being you're limited to the number of carriages, which is almost always going to be just 2, so only 2 colors or materials at a time.

Similar for dual-nozzle printers, limited to 2 colors, and usually more wasteful than an IDEX printer.

The fanciest, fastest, and least-wasteful setups are tool-changers and nozzle-changers, super cool but pricey, large footprints, the market is really competitive right now and competing products vary wildly in cost, design, and effectiveness, it makes it hard to point to them as a serious option for hobbyists, or anyone really, with the exception of the crazy high-end professional machines.
There are many out there though, cool stuff. Tool-changers are getting really attractive, but they're rarely compatible with bedslingers.

Can't not share the Swapper3D, so fuckin' majestic.
