I am currently using Cura 2.6.0 for slicing, and my Prusa I3 clone 3D printer seem to have a problem when having to draw circles after more than 4-6 cm of travel over the heated bed.
It is as if the filament isn't "ready" when the printing of the circle is started - resulting in only half the circle being printed.
I am printing with PETG, using bed temperature of 75 and hotend 230.
Retraction is 5mm at 70mm/sec
I wonder if there is an option (not yet known to me) to "prime" filament after "longer" travel, in order to make sure, that the circles can be printed without missing parts...
