I have heard mention of custom code to prime the nozzle for print… I would love to hear your thoughts on how to go about priming the pump pre print that doesn’t involve a skirt which has introduced some strings or tiny blobs that get introduced into the first layer causing me to stop the print and have another go at it
This page has information on GCode you can enter into your slicer as the start GCode. There is an example showing the printer priming the nozzle before the print. Good luck!
