Oozing streaks during nozzle travel

Oozing streaks during nozzle travel
March 12, 2014 09:50PM
Hello,

I'm having an issue with my top surface finish. During the first layer, it makes all the perimeters, and when it travels from one perimeter to another, it doesn't retract at all and it leaves a thin stringy streak of plastic which makes the surface finish bumpy. It does this during the other layers as well, which then in the end the top finish isn't as nice as it should be. If I could just make it retract before every travel move I think that would fix this. I could not find any setting that would allow this in Slicer. Or is this more of an over extruding issue? Any tips? Or settings I'm missing?

Thanks
