Simplify3D Settings - Blob on front right corner before prin

[abesau]

I'm using Simplify3D 3.0.1 and every print I generate starts with the extruders moving to the front right of my machine
and it squirts a blob of ABS, flooding the extruder and of course making a mess, and strings. I can not find the setting within
Simplify 3D to turn this purging off, or to change it to a straight line print. Someone on another forum suggested I download the
latest version of Simplify3D, but I think 3.0.1 is the latest.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Thanks

This is handled in the Starting Scripts of the FFF Settings. The previous method of purging went to the left of the build-plate, but since the newer FlashForge Creator Pro's have a large fan on the left side of the gantry, you can no longer move to the left of the build plate to purge without running into the walls. To change the Script purge, I would recommend going to Edit Process Settings-->Scripts-->Starting Script and remove the line for "Purge Nozzle", then click Update Profile and it will be saved. If you're on the "Both Extruders" profile, you'll need to remove two lines for "Purge Nozzle".

KeyboardWarrior thank you for your help. I will try that tonight when I get home. Also, could I add a linear purge?
Where the nozzle purges along the length of the build bed, left to right? Could that be added in the scrip? If so,
could you teach me?

Again thank you.

I just realized I don't have the purge nozzle line in my script. Which line should I remove to stop the purging blob? I'd like to
add a line that purges the nozzle in a linear motion from left to right of the build bed. Any help? Thanks
