URGENT: pauses before and after z-hops

[gnydick]

My slicer is configured to z-hop for travels, but before it raises, it sits in place for .25-.5 seconds, then lifts, travels, lowers, than pauses .25-.5 seconds again. This is ruining my intricate prints.

What is your Z axis speed, jerk, acceleration settings?

[dc42]

My guess is that it is retracting and unretracting during those pauses. Perhaps your retraction speed, maximum extruder speed, or extruder acceleration is set too low?

[gnydick]

@dc42 ahhh, that would probably be it! I forgot, my retractions all finish prior to the wipe move, so it's not that.

@Phaedrux I did increase accel and jerk for E and that seems to have helped quite a bit.
