Optimal Slicing

Hi,
I've been trying to print this map outline for a while now and it's just not slicing well.

I had the default ext width and noticed I was getting gaps in the border lines of the map build. Changing it to 0.4 solved it but I'm still getting crazy tool paths...
It's causing the print head to jump all over the place printing bits of lines each time rather than printing a full outline at a time.

Am I just not setting things up right??

Re: Optimal Slicing

What about selecting a fixed start point instead of using opmized for printing speed? Sometimes it gives better results.
