Out of order operations on AnyCubic Prusa-I3 clone Another thing I'm seeing with my new build.
Late in a small print, the unit appears to perform operations "out of order" occasionally.  Here's a picture where it's running a layer across the model.


These "skips" can start in the middle of a line.  It always comes back and fills them in before starting the next layer - more or less accurately.  But from my very limited understanding of gcode, it doesn't seem like this should happen.

When watching the print closely, I'll occasionally see small glitches, where the head jogs very slightly as it runs a line across.

This was sliced with Cura - I'm going to try a different slicer and see if I get anything similar.
Thanks!
This is just your slicer doing this. If you inspect the G-code file, you will see that the printer is faithfully doing what the slicer told it to. Most slicers use a fairly simple heuristic for determining the order in which lines are processed, which sometimes comes up with sub-optimal solutions like these.
