What is the purpose of the rear/right side purge line when the X1C starts a print?
When the X1C starts a print it first prints the front purge line, then moves to the right/front and pauses, then moves to the rear for another purge line along the back and right side.
How would I edit the start g-code to eliminate the pause after the first purge line and eliminate the second purge line?
Thanks in advance.
These are the lines of Gcode you need to comment out and they are located at the very end of the “Machine start G-code”

Thanks, this works, but now the nozzle does not move down to the bed when the model starts printing. It completes the purge line in the front (over and back), moves the Z up slightly then goes to the front far right and pauses for a little bit, then starts printing the model but it doesn’t go back down to the bed first.
Try commenting back in this line.
The other option is to only uncomment the actual purge lines.
To my knowledge the lines between the start gcode end and the model starting to print are hard baked into the slicer thus and can’t be easily edited.

Uncommenting the actual purge line stopped the rear purge line, but the pauses were still in there. The problem with those pauses is that I get some filament oozing out during the pause. So I need to get rid of both the pauses and the purge line, or just leave it as is. This is not a big deal, I’ll just leave well enough alone. Thanks for your help.
I use a loop in the slicer before printing to clear up any blobs left after purge.
Did you find a solution to the pauses?
