I've been printing with Cura for a while, but have a new printer (Wombot Exilis XL) and I'm finding that the filament is not extruding for around 5-10 CM at the start of the print, then it lays down nicely. This isn't affecting most prints, as I use rafts a lot, and the rest of the raft seems unaffected, but I've found that - thanks to the heated bed and buildtak - the raft isn't really needed to aid adhesion.
So my question is this - not knowing a lot about programming in gcode - is there a way I can 'write in' a 10 cm 'lead in' line of print that can be later trimmed off? This would save me a lot of hassle....
