Extruder moving to the side after each layer

Hi,

I'm trying to print a very small rod (3mm diameter) on the prusa mk3 and the extruder is printing each layer and then moving to the side.

I sliced the thing in slic3r with the default 0.2mm settings

I'm not sure if this happened before and I just didn't notice because it took a while to complete each layer and I'm just noticing now because it takes seconds per layer or what…

Did any of you notice that?

The part is reeeeeally uneven and I don't see how all this moving arround is helping the accuracy at all

thanks!

Re: Extruder moving to the side after each layer

I think that your printer is doing that due to the minimal layer time set in your slicer.
