Minimal Extrusion Before Retracting
This will control the distance at which retraction occurs if the printing
movement exceeds the minimum extrusion amount. This will prevent a
retraction move, if your extruder has not put out Xmm of filament since
its last retraction.
Z Hop When Retracting
This will raise your print head Xmm while retracting. This setting helps
prevent ooze, and strings from being deposited on your print.
1.16 Skirt
Skirt creates a line around the outside of your object. Most commonly used
to prime the extruder, in order to prevent missed filament at the beginning
of a print. Leave this setting on.
Line Count
This will define the number of loops the Skirt creates around the outside
of your object. Smaller models will require more loops to properly prime
the extruder.
Start Distance
This will define the distance away from your model that the skirt will be
created. If using as an envelope to prevent drafts, it is recommended to be
closer to your object.
Minimal Length
This will define the minimum extruded line length for the skirt. This will
over ride your line count, producing as many lines as required to reach the
minimal length.
