Single-Layer Surface Printing: A lot of unnecessary retracts and travels

Posted · Single-Layer Surface Printing: A lot of unnecessary retracts and travels

Dear Cura-Experts,

 

I'm trying to print a part which is an overlay of solid and shell parts, inspired by the models of 3DLabPrint (https://3dlabprint.com/).I came pretty far but there is one thing which makes me pull out my hair: the Cura slicer produces a nice motion path but after the layer is completed, it again moves to several points on the contour and places a lot of single "spots". Actually this is completely unnecessary from my point of view (It enlarged the print time a lot and cause a bad outer surface of the part.) and I have no idea, why it does this.

 These points are visible as dark blue dots on top of the uppermost red layer in the attached image.

Did anybody experience something similar and has a hint to a cure for me?

 

Thanks a lot, Hannes

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
