Odd Travel Moves from Minimum Travel After Retraction Setting
Hi All
First post here, so hopefully don't immediately break any posting laws 🙂
I've got some odd travel behaviour using Prusa3D 2.1.1 (not sure of previous versions). I've got a part with a lot of sunken text, and I noticed while printing that the printer was making a LOT of travel moves to the corners of the object while outlining the text. I checked on the slicer and the moves are there, but I have no idea what the slicer is trying to accomplish by doing this... all it does for me is take up an extra 10-20 minutes of printing time and leaves blobs on the outside of the part (I have a bowden extruder).
I narrowed it down to the setting "Minimum travel after retraction". If I set this to a high value (EG 50mm instead of default 2mm) then those moves go away.
Can anyone tell me what's going on? Is it a bug or is there a good reason why this would happen? It takes so much longer to print when this happens on every layer!
Set to 50mm:
Set to 2mm default (Notice blue lines in corner are the extra travel moves I'm talking about):

Can you save a copy of your test file in prusa slicer, as a project file (File menu>Save Project As) then if you could zip compress the resultant .3mf file, and attach the Zip Sile, to your next post,
we can then look at your settings,
