![]() Wipe Z-Hop: This is the distance between the nozzle and the build plate that prevents the print from being knocked over when it’s going for a wipe.The wiping motion starts from this coordinate. Wipe Brush X-Position: This indicates the position of where your brush (if you have one) is placed on your print bed.If this setting is too short, it can cause under-extrusion. Wipe Pause: This pauses the movement of the nozzle for some preset value after the filament is drawn back into the nozzle.Wipe Retraction Speed: The speed at which the filament is retracted and primed during the wipe sequence.Wipe Retraction Extra Prime Amount: This is used to compensate for material that oozes away during a wipe travel move.Wipe Retraction Distance: This is the length of filament in mm that the printer must retract so that it does not ooze during the wipe sequence.This is because it is only limited to one wipe per layer. If this value is less than the volume of material required for one layer, then the setting has no effect on the print. Material Volume between Wipes: This refers to the maximum amount of material that can be extruded before another nozzle wipe can be initiated.Tweak the retraction settings and other related settings until you get optimal results.Scroll down the menu and enable “Wipe Nozzle between layers.On the drop-down menu, type “Wipe” into the Search box.Select the Print Settings bar on the right-hand side of the Cura home screen.Now that we understand what this setting does, let’s now look at how to locate it on Cura. Once it begins this process, the printhead moves away from the model, retracts the unmelted filament and moves to the position of the brush based on the preset value in the settings. Once this setting is activated, it generates a G-Code that instructs the printer to begin the wipe sequence once it completes a layer of the print. This is to ensure that the nozzle is free of any form of residues (blobs) that can damage the rest of the print. The wipe nozzle between layer setting on Cura tells the printer to go wipe its nozzle after it completes a layer of the print. This is similar to the “Wipe While Retracting” setting on the PrusaSlicer. How to Use the Wipe Nozzle Between Layer Settings on Cura ![]() Also, this added travel by the nozzle increases the duration of your prints.Ĭheck out this video from Kalmanf for more information on wiping while retracting the setting on PrusaSlicer. Note that you need to enable the “Retract on Layer Change” and “Wipe While Retracting” setting to get the best results on your print. Retract amount before Wipe: This defines the amount of filament the nozzle will retract before it initiates the wipe sequence.If this is set to a higher value, it will lead to lower printing times but will increase oozing and stringing. On PrusaSlicer, the preset number is 1 mm, which is a pretty low amount. Minimum Travel after Retraction: This is the distance the nozzle will travel that will trigger a retraction (mm).Deretraction Speed: The Deretraction speed is the speed at which the extruder’s motor will feed the filament to the extruder.If this value is set too high, the printer will skip the steps. ![]() ![]()
