I am having to use the raft feature quiet often due to small size parts that are being printed.
Most times the skirt that is put down before the raft is printed is incomplete at the beginning. This makes a fault in the raft sometimes. (lifting back on itself)
Is it possible to do either of these things to fix this problem?
1. Make the skirt go around twice instead of just once.
or
2. Add some G-code at the beginning to put down a line of filament before starting the skirt so that the nozzle is purged and loaded with molten filament before starting the skirt.
I have tried to add some code myself, but not knowing how to do it properly it is not working as I want.
I have a self built machine that has bed leveling built in and the nozzle starts at the front right hand side of the bed. I would like to run a line of filament about 80mm towards X0 before the skirt starts, is that possible?
