Operation
The default 'Activate Hop' checkbox is off.
It is off because Vik and Nophead found better results without hopping. Also many other users reported better output without this plugin. In some cases where you have a thin overhang this plugin can help solve the problem object being knocked off by the head.
When activated the extruder will hop when traveling. When it is off, nothing will be done.
Settings
Hop Over Layer Thickness
Default: 1
Defines the ratio of the hop height over the layer height, this is the most important hop setting.
Minimum Hop Angle
Default: 20 degrees
Defines the minimum angle that the path of the extruder will be raised. An angle of 90 degrees means that the extruder will go straight up as soon as it is not extruding and a low angle means the extruder path will gradually rise to the hop height.
