Hi.
I want to slice a cylinder with Cura but i don't want all my layers to start at the same straight Z line.
How am i gonna to achieve that ?

Hi.
I just got a Ender 3 and a roll of PLA and i got started printing.
Still haven't figure out if Simplify3D or Cura is better for me, i like that Cura has many settings but i just CANT'S FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONFIGURE THE RETRACTION FOR MY PRINTER IN CURA!
In Simplify3D i have set 4.5mm retraction distance and 80mm/s retraction speed and i get PERFECT results on basic retraction test https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2563909/
This is the Gcode from Simplify3D
G1 X109.916 Y118.703 E273.06705

G1 F4800 E59.23949 ;PUSHI know that with different settings like 6mm distance and 25mm/s speed Cura gives much better results but they are not PERFECT.
How can i fix that so Cura outputs the same Gcode as Simplify3D so i won't have stringing ???
How to change layer starting point ?

Thanks.
Shortest and sharpest corner are both fixed Z lines like user specified.
If i pick random it creates alot of travel moves.
Is there a way to nudge it a bit every layer without creating travel moves?
Like with "wipe nozzle" on simplify3d
I can wipe nozzle on Cura too but it stays on the same point.
