Creatbot Dx03 - confirm what I think I know and help me fix

So as you can see by the video the extruder squirts out a little before actually getting to the point it needs to print.

This is really annoying as when I did a 20mmx20mmx20mm cube (actually came out to 20.36x20.30x19.8) it looks pretty damn good for using the built in Simplify settings (which actually needed a little modification IMO as it didnt have the wipe feature for bowden extruders).

Looking at the cube I see that the top layer has a couple of very small holes in it, as well as the corner having a few loops but overall I am happy with the print. It was printed in ABS at 0.2mm.

What I think I need to do:
I am printing a leg and I presume I need to adjust the "extra restart distance" to something like -0.2. For the holes I think I need to adjust the "infill extrusion width" to 105%-110%. Other than that it seems to be going ok.


Here is the process file I am using http://1drv.ms/1PbGXfU

Simplify3D can you please update the machine file as the current DX03 can go down to 0.04mm where the highest resolution you have is for 0.1
