Whats this prime line everyone talks about?? v2.2 and v3 both go off the front corner of my Heatbed and drop some plastic and wipe it off on the corner. I didn't notice any difference going from v2.2 to v3 in regards to this..
Is this line your referring too similar to what makerware does? if so.. god I'm glad its not doing it, that line caused me lots of issues.
My Duplicator4 is basically the same machine as the FF

Yes. I'm curious to hear what issues this has caused as I used the Makerware software for months without having a problem with that prime line before buying Simplify3d. I've had dozens of prints with the 3.x and have the same experience.

My issue with the prime line in makerware was that it printed literally on the edge of my heatbed.. so sometimes it would just miss and extrude randomly in mid are or get stuck to the head. I completely prefer what S3D is doing with the extrude off the bed and wipe the corner. I use glass and no tape and never had an issue with the excess material causing issues for a print.
