Hi, been 3D printing for a while and have moved to Cura as my go to slicer, to make my prints better on small layers I have turned on the Lift Head function in order to allow the PLA that I print with to solidify before the next layer, however this then results in ooze from the print head which can lead to under extrusion in subsequent layers. There is the option for retract when Z-hopping but not for lifting the head or are these two things the same, if I enable retract for Z-hop will it view the head lift as a Z-hop and retract the filament?
If this is not the case could this be considered as an option for future versions of Cura, either combining the setting of retract for Z-hop which will also cause a retract on head lift or a bespoke setting for retract on head lift?
