Cura very inefficient print/travel order

Posted · Cura very inefficient print/travel order

Hi all - I am seeing very inefficient travel/movement for a print where the order of printing just seems to make no sense.  3mf file is attached and optimise print wall printing order is on.

 

As shown in the attached image [gif showing movement also in attached .zip file] then rather than printing each rectangle section in turn, moving from left to right along each of the 3 main areas, it does a couple, jumps ahead, and even moves on to a completely different side before returning.  The result is not a ruined print by any means, but it leaves stringing due to the excessive / unnecessary travelling the print head does when it could simple be moving around the model with minimal travel required.


Any thoughts on any settings that could help this would be appreciated!

        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.
