I would like to see a check box on the print settings that allow to choose the standard retraction system or the one explained here. Rectraction and next move merged in the same line.
it's a macro for notepad++ . i'm on holiday right now...if i can load it from remote i'll post the regex that change all the retraction =) please be patient some days!

No problem.
I went ahead and wrote a small ruby script for it.

I could have spent time and made it rewrite the file to the same location, but I am a bit too lazy for that so you have to use it like ./script "filepath.here" > newfile.gcode

Nice job mate...you may have spent time working on it but i think this way you've understood the problem, analyzed and then solved yourself. That's the way you "LEARN" something, not apply someone else solution.
However i would change the regex you use because if you change the retraction speed on simplify, you would have to change the code of your script and i think you change that settings when changing material from abs/pla to nylon or some other particular filament...

Blobs in S3D is a chronic and recurrent problem... this fix should have been introduced in the last update!

After running gcode through this script, I can load it into S3G to preview, but it doesn't appear to generate the .x3g file for it. Any suggestions?

I'm surprised this thread is so old and they haven't done anything about it!
Any tips on how to run that ruby script? I've installed NP++ and Ruby, definitely not much of a programmer.

instructions are in the comments at the top of the script:
Code: Select all
#filepath = "/home/user/whatever.gcode"
#chmod +x this file
# ./thisfile.rb "/file/path.here" > "/new/file.path"
