Posted · Idea for new feature: spiral skirt

I think maybe  a useful option make a spiral skirt, because ofter when print start the nozzle is dirty and blob, and the dirty often go to bed when it touch but after the 1st round, the nozzle go close to the starting point and collect the dirt and the blobs.... i think if i can make a spiral skirt so it make 2 / 3 round (as usual) but with every round ranged of about ... for example... 5 mm it maybe a great option.

what do you think?

    I know what you mean, when printing the skirt the nozzle does often collect blobs that have been left earlier. I think the spiral skirt is possibly useful. What I do is normally space the skirt some distance from the model and also print at least 500mm of skirt so as to give me plenty of time to get in there and grab any crap that is being dragged around.

        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.
