path question / suggestion for Z layer raise
January 19, 2015 02:18AM
(Ormerod1 Mac OS 10.7.5 and Slic3r 1.1.7 since 1.2.5 doesn't avoid small perimeters and ruins my prints on the first layer - see other post)
Currently at the end of the layer the nozzle pauzes for a moment to raise the layer and then travels to the next start point.
Is it possible for the layer raise to be incorporated into the travel to the next start point line?
This avoids the momentary pause to raise the layer which tends to leave a small fault in my prints.

Gcode from 1.1.7
G1 F1800.000 E6.98502 ; retract
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
G1 Z6.333 F4800.000 ; move to next layer (18) *combines*
G1 X131.690 Y136.623 F4800.000 ; move to first perimeter point *combines*
G1 E3.00000 F1800.000 ; compensate retraction
G1 X136.032 Y136.623 E3.30082 F3000.000 ; perimeter

becomes
G1 F1800.000 E6.98502 ; retract
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
G1 X131.690 Y136.623 Z6.333 F4800.000 ; move to next layer (18) and move to first perimeter point
