Wipe Movement Wipe movement is a retraction technique that moves the nozzle away from the model during filament retraction to prevent oozing, stringing, and blobs. It enhances surface finish, sharp details, and clean transitions between parts. Advanced slicing software customizes wipe distance, speed, and direction for optimal toolpaths. Proper retraction, temperature, and cooling settings ensure consistent extrusion and dimensional accuracy. Wipe movement is particularly useful for multi-material, high-resolution, and detailed models, supporting clean interfaces, sharp edges, and aesthetic finishes. |
