Toolhead stops over the filament after each layer

My toolhead this stopped on the filament after each layer. I tried to change the z lift retraction but it rises after this stop.

This downtime causes the toolhead each end scratch layer

Someone have the same problem?

That looks like you just need to tune your retraction settings (and perhaps add a G28 X0 in your ending script)

Try to take look at "Coasting Distance" in the Extruder tab, maybe you set it a bit too high!

Re: Toolhead stops over the filament after each layer

Sounds like your retract distance is too high and/or your retract speed is too low, and your print head is sitting still during the retraction. Try increasing the retract speed and decreasing retract length. You can also try enabling retract while wiping to keep the printhead moving while your retract is taking place.
