Dual Wall\Perimeter start for large nozzle single walls

When using a single perimeter for speed with a large nozzle the Z seam can often appear under extruded due to the large amount of filament being dragged from the start point irrelevant to the amount of retraction (does not occur with 2 perimeters). Therefore it would be really useful to have the option to add a short run of a inner perimeter just at the specified start of the layer to prevent this from happening (length to be specified in the dialogue box). This would allow faster single perimeter printing without the dragging of material at the start of the loop or loops. best Boothy

Re: Dual Wall\Perimeter start for large nozzle single walls

When you witness this occurring does it seem like adding more priming at the start of your layer would help with adhesion to the layer below? if so, you can try to use extra restart distance to compensate for this perceived lack of fill at the start of these areas.
