point. Next, go to the Advanced tab and enable the option labeled
“Perform retraction during wipe movement”. This will prevent a
stationary retraction, since the printer has now been instructed to
wipe the nozzle while it retracts. This is a very powerful feature
and a great option to try if you are still having trouble removing
these defects from the surface of your print.
(4) Choose the location of your start points
If you are still seeing some small defects on the surface of
your print, Simplify3D also provides an option that can control the
location of these points. Click on “Edit Process Settings” and
select the Layer tab. In most cases, the locations of these start
points are chosen to optimize the printing speed. However, you
also have the ability to randomize the placement of the start points
or align them to a specific location. For example, if you were
printing a statue, you could align all of the start points to be on the
backside of the model so that they were not visible from the front.
To do this, enable the “Choose start point that is closest to specific
location” option and then enter the XY coordinate where you want
the start points to be placed.
