LulzBot TAZ 6 - Expert Settings and Retraction

2.13. SKIRT
Minimum Travel
This sets the minimum travel distance of your print head in order to retract.
If your print head is not moving this far during travel moves, it will not
retract.
Combing
This option prevents your print head from traveling over holes in the
X/Y plane when printing. This will slightly increase print time, but will
prevent strings from getting caught on the holes during travel moves. We
recommend keeping this setting on.
Minimal Extrusion Before Retracting
This will prevent a retraction move, if your extruder has not put out Xmm
of lament 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.
2.13 Skirt
Skirt creates a line around the outside of your object. Most commonly used
to prime the extruder, in order to prevent missed lament at the beginning
of a print. Leave this setting on. Turning this setting o will allow for
utilizing the full build volume.
Line Count
This will dene the number of loops the Skirt creates around the outside
of your object. Smaller models will require more loops to properly prime
the extruder.
