I'm having a problem with Ultimaker Cura (v3.4.0) where it doesn't always tell the extruder to retract when performing a travel, which causes the hotend to leave a "trail" as it's moving and not start printing again right away when the travel is over.



For example, the extruder does not retract when performing this travel (blue):



enter image description here



And yes, I do have "retract before outer wall" enabled....



enter image description hereenter image description here



Any ideas how to solve this?

          You probably have the "Combing Mode" option under the "Travel" options enabled for each layer (All). Combing reduces print time by leaving out the retraction, but leads to ugly first and top layers by leaving "scars" on the surface. It can be disabled by excluding the bottom and top layer by changing the setting to No skin or for all layers by choosing Off. The latter will increase printing time drastically! Please note that as of version 3.5 of Ultimaker Cura the options of the combing setting have different textual descriptions.
