Hi,

I already set VERTICAL RETRACTION to my profile to 2mm so everytime my printer goes from one object to another (in the same layer) it raises a bit the Z and then it lowers it.

THE PROBLEM is that the printer does this raising/lowering while also traveling to the other object to strat print it. I would like it to RAISE -> TRAVEL TO THE OBJECT -> LOWER. This should be the case but not, it raises and lowers while traveling. Is it possible to solve this problem somehow?

Please attache a gcode-files with this occurrences.

Normally a command (rise up) must ended before the next command (travel) can follow ... a.s.o. But that is a question of the firmware how it handles the command sequence.
If it happens so as you say, the command lines of the travel must include a Z-value (e.g. G1 X100 Y25 Z2.13 - coming from Z 4.13 , when the lift is 2.0 - *) ) I can't remember to have seen such a command line either in my own or in strange gcodes. My prints are already ok. The movement of the heat bed is clearly to observe with the beginning of the lift and after ending the travel always in one step.


*)
G1 X100 Y25 ( F ... )
G1 Z 2.13 (F ... )
... E 1.123456
