Extruder moves quickly over small objects, removing them from bed

Extruder moves quickly over small objects, removing them from the bed, resulting in a mess.

It should go around the printed objects instead, especially small ones.

In Slic3r, this seems to be Print Settings -> Layers and perimeter -> Avoid crossing perimeters but this is not sufficient. Printing this with supports worked, but PrusaControl did not show a warning that supports should be used.

Also we have the Z-hop enabled by default, so the extruder is supposed to skip over these warping objects.

The "Avoid crossing perimeters" feature in Slic3r is not very good as of now, it often extends the travel paths too much, leading not only to extended print times, but it may also have adverse effects on print quality due to extruder leakage for some materials.

As bubnikv said, z-hop is on to avoid collisions on objects.

The Brim settings would be good to turn on for this print.

We are working on improving the auto analysis for cases such as this one.
