Feature request: Lead in on a print

Posted (edited) · Feature request: Lead in on a print

Hi guys - been using cura for years with my Ender 3 - its been fantastic.

Depeding on a number of factors (quality of filament/humidity/randomness) after my initial purge line prior to starting a print, there is sometimes some seepage out of the nozzle or a bit of stringing that goes on, often leading to a string of filament or a blob being dragged across to the start of the print - which is OK when running a brim or a skirt for the most part - but sometimes it gets under the start of a print and causes some irregularities - would be nice to have like a 5mm lead into the start of the print to purge and stick any junk away from the actual print.

Thanks again for a great slicer.

        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.
