Optimizing travel of extruder
Hi, is there any way to optimize free travel of extruder. For this example it takes 3h of three hours with random movements between perimeters but it doesn't even chose shortest path to the closest perimeter.
My imaginary solution which i don't know if implemented or not:
Print multiple layers on top of one perimeter and only than move to another perimeter.
Allign movements so travel distance between perimeters is as small as possible.
Check if model is similar on the higher layers and copy same G-code for each layer(the simplest way to do it, can be even done by hand in case of an example)

I also just mentioned this on a more recent thread here and am quite keen on this. I might attempt to try implementing what I mentioned in this post but I'm not familiar at all with the code for the slicer so it might be a while (though I am a professional c++programmer and familiar with slicing in general) https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/postid/716901/
