Not displaying filament line after retraction

akovar · August 2018

Under some very specific cases, though not uncommon, the print preview is skipping displaying filament lines after a retraction. I'm using:

- Windows 10

- Repetier-Host V2.1.3

- Slic3r Version 1.3.1-dev

A simplified/modified specific case is with the following G-Code:

G1 E3.67906 ;other stuff actually did this...
G1 X158.315 Y138.087
G1 X141.710 Y138.087 E4.67111
G1 E2.671110033988 ; error with E2.671110033988 no error with E2.671110033989
G92 E0
G1 X136.999 Y138.625
G1 E2.00000
G1 X119.605 Y138.625 E2.80697 ; DISPLAY ERROR (sometimes)
G1 X119.605 Y137.550 E2.85683

If I rewrite this without the "G92 E0" to reset the extruder position, but retaining the relative value, this error no longer occurs (at least in this specific case).

Thanks for the great error sample. Made it easy to debug the problem. As i see it is a conflict with another special case of undo retract with extra distance that could cause graphic glitches from this. Exactly this caused this error converting the first error extrusion move into a undo retraction move that is not visible.

I have extended the detection routine to handle this case correctly while keeping the original intention intact. Will be fixed in the next update.
