I am going to try and remember to test that out this weekend. Been meaning to.

Hello ,
I am a new user of simplify3d
I have a CR-10S

I was using cura before that

The impression seems more beautiful but I have this problem at the corners with simplify3d

is there a solution?
Best regards , Stephane

Not really! You can reduce it through retraction settings and by adding a little negative restart distance which is a possible trade off on other things.
If you set the "start point" to aligned then it should change to only being on one side.
If you do the same cube with a single wall and no infill the problem will go away!

You can also try additional perimeters or different infill types and see what that does.

I found after fighting this for a long time that in real world printing it isn't such a big deal.

I also have a CR-10 (and Ender-2, Anet A8 and CTC) and don't have those problems.
But I put my retraction to a specific location (especially on the calibration cube). Results are perfect. I also do retractions on the outer perimeter where the TO does not.

And especially on the CR-10 you should the increase the max E-Speed to 80mm/s instead of the default 25mm/s. Because of the slow extruder max speed the printer stays pretty long on the place where it retracts which causes blobs and they can push the outer perimeter out of alignment.,
