I am Thin Wall Printing and at the end of every layer the printer: pauses for a second, Z lift, Pause, start next layer. How do I tell the printer stop doing the pause and continuously print. For Example: It prints non-stop..... My other slicer software doesn't do this. Cura, Multimaker, Slic3r. There has to be a setting that Im missing. Ive only seen one post on this and everyone +1'd it.
Thanks!

Re: Stop printer pause at the end of every layer
It's probably just doing a retraction. The extruder is pulling back filament into the nozzle, so it may look like it's standing still, but it's actually retracting the filament.
Personally, I think retraction is a very good thing, so I wouldn't disable it. You could try lowering your retraction distance or increasing your retraction speed if you want it to go quicker

Re: Stop printer pause at the end of every layer
"Retraction vertical lift" (AKA Z lift) might also be a possibility. This setting raises the hotend briefly following an extrusion. Mine is set to 0mm. Some find Z lift helps with their final result FWIW. This setting is located on the "Extruder" tab under "Ooze Control".
