Circular motion to prevent stringing with “bridge” nylon

Hello,

I have gotten into 3d printing with my creatr to make strong flexible mechanical parts.
The best material I found so far is this “bridge” nylon, but as anybody who has printed nylon before knows it strings a lot…

I think I know all the standard tricks ( like: drying, wiping, coasting, temperature, travel speed) but still it isn’t perfect.


So I was thinking, when I used my hot melt glue gun, I automaticly make a sort of circular motion to get from one spot to the next. This makes the string longer and thinner and easily removed.

Now my question is how do I get my 3d printer to do this: Go from an end point to a new starting point in a circular motion.

Or has someone already tried this?

Greetings!
