Thank you very much - exactly the problem, well solved from a distance. Not a bug, just the operator (again!)

Well there is a set print temperature to 200 because I do a preload of the nozzle and squirt a few mm off bed after bed levelling and before running the main code. But why should an initial M109 prevent the initial layer temperature from being set?

Hi All, Upgraded to 4.11 yesterday and for a difficult print I set the initial layer temperature to a rather higher level than the remaining layers (215°C vs 201°C). However the print still didn't work and after some further investigation in the GCode, I cannot see that the initial temperature has been set - the standard printing temperature is set at the start and is never changed. Happy to be told that I have not correctly set something up.... snip from the Gcode (temperature set is highlighted in RED😞 T1 ;switch to other head M109 S201.0 ; Wait for the temp to hit 200 G00 X125 Y-60 Z0.2 ; G00 Z0 G92 E0 ; G01 E25 F100 ; Extrude a little bit to replace oozage from auto levelling G01 X100 Y-50 F100 ; G01 Z5 ; M109 S201.0 M82 ;absolute extrusion mode ;Deltacomb Extruder 2 ;Put your custom code here M83 ;relative extrusion mode M83 ;relative extrusion mode G1 F2400 E-3.5 ;LAYER_COUNT:198 ;LAYER:0 M107 M204 T2250 M566 X600 Y600 G1 F10200 Z1.3 G0 F7140 X5.943 Y2.519 Z1.3 M204 P1000 M566 X1500 Y1500 ;TYPE:SKIRT G1 F10200 Z0.3 and down at the start of layer #1: ;TIME_ELAPSED:42.647882 ;LAYER:1 M106 S127.5 M204 P1333 M566 X1500 Y1500 ;TYPE:WALL-INNER ;MESH:Part Studio 1 - Part 1a.stl G1 F3360 X2.206 Y-0.014 E0.13276 and a snip from the settings: Simon

@Brulti, many thanks - I agree with you now that I have seen the release notes and read them as carefully as you did. I interpret that it is a no-option setting if: So in summary, if you choose the setting ' outer before inner walls', you get the outside perimeter printed before the hole. If however you choose the standard (?) inner walls then outer walls, this feature doesn't apply. Much clearer, hopefully this thread will help others too. Thanks again for your aid. Simon

Are we the only people who want to use this new feature that is one of the key features of 3.4.....? Come on folk, what are we doing wrong......where is this feature hidden? OR.....is this something we need to install an add-on....? H E L P..... (please!) ?

Nobody with any ideas.....? Is this a BUG - or just my failure to look hard enough??

Hi All, I asked this in the general 3.4 topic but I think it is more sensible and easier to view/search if I setup a separate topic. As the title says, where do I find the new feature called " Print outside perimeter before holes " in 3.4? Simon

Where do I find " Print outside perimeter before holes " as a setting? I really need this setting since I often add my name/logo on the 1st layer and it doesn't always work.... :-( Thanks, Simon
