Problem with unoptimized travel paths
Hi there,
I have a problem with PrusaSlicer.
I have a multi color print with lots of little colored rectangles surrounding a plain octagon-shaped donut:
After slicing, the travel paths are all over the place:
Instead of printing the red rectangles in clockwise (or counterclockwise) order, they are printed from top to bottom, crossing the empty space in the middle after each rectangle:
Simplification:
Not only do all these travel moves add to the print time, they also increase the amount of possible stringing.
I would like to print the red rectangles in a more optimized way, ideally clockwise like this:
Is there any setting in PrusaSlicer to make the print order more optimized or is this a bug?
I uploaded this file to Printables so you can try for yourself:

RE: Problem with unoptimized travel paths
There is no settings to control this. It’s also got several existing issues raised on the PRUSA slicer GitHub.
https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/13206 for example.
There are many many others regarding travel and print order. It’s not a simple problem.
