Feature Request - Z-hop for ironing

[Chompworks]

When ironing, there is still nozzle travel over previously ironed surfaces, slightly reducing the smooth result that ironing is meant to achieve.
Would it be possible to add a toggleable option for ironing travel moves to z-hop? [or is it tied to retractions z-hopping or a similar separate control elsewhere in Cura?]

Hi, do you have combing enabled? If so, setting to "no skin" could stop that happening?

[Chompworks]

Thats actually with no skin combing enabled - was present in Cura 2 and just remembered to test it in Cura 3 while dealing with a different issue.

OK, can you please make the project available and then I can see where those travels are being created?

[Chompworks]

Sure, here you go:

Thanks for the project. I notice two things:

1 - combing was set to all, you want it to be no-skin so that it retracts when moving over skin.

2 - you need to z-hop on retract otherwise it will just drag the nozzle.

Hope this helps.

The No-Skin combing setting is sort of meant for this.

Seems to work when I try with that setting.

I'm cleaning house and checking to see if these old requests are still valid.
Can this be closed?

I’ll be frank - I’ve stopped using Cura as a slicer for my printing workflows now, so it can be closed as far as I’m concerned.

I have a post-processor that accomplishes this by adding z-hops just for particular layers. At some point I'll get it added to Cura.
