Don't forget to uncheck the "Retract only when crossing borders" box as was noted in another thread.

Yes. This is especially an issue on the first layer. Even though you are on the outside of the final object, slicer does not consider it is crossing perimeters. As you move from one hole to another on your objects interior, slic3r will extrude filament. Since this goes down before the infill, this extrusion will be on the exterior of the finished print. Just because of this, this check box is, IMHO, useless. I can't think of a scenario where I'd want to have it checked.]]> jbernardis Slic3r Tue, 24 Feb 2015 12:26:55 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474741,474881#msg-474881 Re: Retract and lift on travel https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474741,474881#msg-474881 lumen Slic3r Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:59:29 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474741,474871#msg-474871 Re: Retract and lift on travel https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474741,474871#msg-474871 jbernardis Slic3r Mon, 23 Feb 2015 20:10:00 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474741,474813#msg-474813 Re: Retract and lift on travel https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474741,474813#msg-474813
I thought Slic3r retracted for all travel moves, so it would just be a matter of setting the lift and retraction settings under the extruder section of the printer tab.]]> Kurzaa Slic3r Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:48:26 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474741,474741#msg-474741 Retract and lift on travel https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,474741,474741#msg-474741
