[ADDED] Some Bowden related Feature Requests

[Luke321]

Hello,

I'm using a Rostock Printer and noticed some things which could be improved for bowden extruders.

1. Creator retracts very often even when switching from one perimeter to the other! (maybe we could set a minimal travel distance for retracts)
2. It would be nice if we could get a stay over infill feature, which would reduce the amount of retracts furthermore

This could reduce print time and improve print quality, because retracts take much time and with bowden extruders can be a cause of blobs!

The coast feature already helps a lot for bowden extruders but this would increase speed for all printers.

regards

I have to agree with both points. This is the first thing I noticed coming from Slic3r to using this software.

Hello Luke321,
I use a Rostock also, would you mind sharing the settings you are using for S3D?
Thanks

@Brian: I sent you a PM with a link to my settings!

1) you can now set the minimum travel distance for a retraction as well as limiting them to only take place when you cross an open space
2) version 3.0 also added options to divert the travel path for the extruder to avoid crossing an open space ("stay over infill" option)
