  @djohnavid021 I need a little more information to go on than just stating its not working. Did you select two or more objects before subtracting? Did you then select the item you wished to subtract?

  @cope413 I was aware of the first layer adjustment. It was still 0 however even though the control parameter Z offset was 0.08mm. Not sure if the layer adjustment should have said 0.08mm because of the control setting - problem?

  Sie haben eine wirklich hohe Rückzugslänge beim Werkzeugwechsel. Ich vermute, das verursacht die Probleme. Ich empfehle, das auf 1-2 mm mehr als Ihren regulären Rückzugswert einzustellen.

  Yes. It works fine with Windows 11.

  @chaoticcole it could have just been a Windows issue. Sometimes Windows does weird things with COM ports, and that may have been the case with the issue you had.

  @ladysmith You can take a screenshot of the item and upload it to imgur.com so we can see it.

  It's likely retracting in absolute from your last E value which is E6742.844

  Try changing your end gcode to this

  G92 E0
  G1 E-8 F2400
  G0 X5 Y215 F3000

  and see if that resolves it

  @cope413 I recently started experimenting with PrusaSlicer and I noticed that my Ender 3 is printing a lot faster. I had shown these pictures to a couple of folks that I have purchased 3D printed products from and they basically said the same thing you did. I just looked at the settings in PrusaSlicer and first layer speed is set at 30mm/s and the first layer height is 0.35mm. For reference, the same settings in M/C are 20mm/s and .20mm respectively. I wanted to try PrusaSlicer because James Fewster, who prints commercially, had high praise for it. One of the things I noticed is that an STL file exported by M/C and then imported into PrusaSlicer reports the there are various errors that need to be fixed (which it does). I re-slice and export the file as Gcode, then open that Gcode in Matter Control and print it (a bit involved I admit). It seemed that, overall, I was getting better prints, except when there was a large first layer surface area as in this item. Based on your suggestions I think I will go back to this single layer test print with the slower and lower settings and see if it makes a difference. As to your second point, I do thoroughly clean the build plate with IPA between each print (looking for fingerprints) and they are generally stuck on there pretty good. Thank you for your response.

  This version created a really bizarre slice for the top layer of a large ring shape. It printed one short line, then moved over to the other side and printed another one and back and forth, retracting and moving and wasting a lot of time in the process.

  The other solid layers (the bottom and all but the top) printed in about 4 minutes each, the top took more than ten and made a mess of it. I'd submit a trouble ticket but don't see any way to do that, so it looks like complaining here is the way to go.

  Not sure what you are exactly doing, but you may need to combine before you save or export.

  I am normally in Linux, so I booted Windows to try this. I added hardware as "Other" and then sub category to "Other". I cancelled out of the connect printer. Next you have to add the printer tab on the right. Scroll down, you will have to add the bed size, print center and shape. All of these settings must match your printer, but you can get these settings from your other computer. You can adjust the Gcode manually however you want. I have to do this because I run Duet electronics instead of the Azteeg boards. I use gcode programming instead of Marlin.

  After you have that setup, you can export away.
