Missing Minimal filament extrusion length skirt option

[wight554]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's way easier to have constant minimum skirt than setting it per object (e.g for larger objects you need less loops than for smaller ones)

Describe the solution you'd like Add an option to set minimal filament extrusion length

Describe alternatives you've considered It's possible to change number of loops for each new project but that's bad UX imo

Additional context Available in PrusaSlicer

Ended up using PRIME_NOZZLE from here for now. But this option would be much better

[racemaniac]

[Skivaks]

I use this option, in PrusaSlicer, to clean the nozzle. There is a great lack of this in Orca.

@Eldenroot saw this when searching for issues. Again the code seems to be there, the option just removed. I may implement this next if there is enough of a need. Personally I haven’t used draft shields with orca having an enclosed Voron + BBL but I can see the rationale. In the meantime you just set the skirt height to 9999 layers and it’s done.

So... I've enabled that too @Eldenroot

Thank you. It is not good that some useful features are just hidden. Because variability is a key, we have different printers etc.

What else could be easily enabled and could be useful?

Not much more from what I see immediately - the majority of available options are enabled. There are a couple related to multi extruder printing but I bet that these are not able to just be switched on as there is backing code that is more likely than not missing.
