Avoid travel moves over printed object
Hey Community,
is it somehow possible to slice a print so that the extruder never moves over the previously printed layer during travel moves? I print transparent objects with PETG and the travel moves always smear the surface, which leads to a worse transparency. I played around with "avoid crossing perimeters" and "seam position", but that was not satisfactory.
In the picture below: I don't want this blue line (travel move) to be over the previously printed surface.
Is there any way to set the extruder to move directly out of the object after infill, and only move back onto the object when the next infill or perimeter begins?
Thanks for your input 🙂
RE: Avoid travel moves over printed object
Yes it is. First you must be in expert mode of Prusa Slicer settings (top right of the screen). Then open the 'printing configuration' menu, go to 'layers and perimeters' and scroll down to 'quality' settings.
You'll see an option called 'avoid crossing perimeters'. Just enable it and you're done.
