Coasting at end of support material pass

Hey guys,

I'm printing with PETG and on a layer that has no support material I get a perfect print. On any slice that has support material, I get a stringer from the support to the part. Things I'm assuming:

1. The support material automatically has a wider extrusion width for stability
2. It's not possible to do a wipe pass on support material since usually it doesn't loop around on itself
3. Not sure if coasting happens on support material

Is there any way to help correct this issue? Can I add extra coast to the support material or something? If it does, it doesn't look like the wipe happens on support material. This leave excess ooze and explain why I get a stringer going from the support to the main model.

Re: Coasting at end of support material pass

This is surely depending from your settings, different material with 2 extruders ( ? ) Horizontal Offset, speeds and others.
Please attache your factory-file and a picture .
