Performing Wipe at Start of Prints?

CR Series
1

I have recently purchased a Creality Enter 3 V3 SE printer.

When I printed the provided sample model (CAT) I noticed that it performed a wipe before printing.

When I tried to print my own model it tried to start printing without a wipe process, thereby during the first layer, the nozzle didnt complete the first layer rectangle before proceeding to print the full base layer.

I know that this probably wont cause an issue, but was curious to see if a wipe is supposed to be performed at the start of every print to get the filament flowing, and if it is, is it a setting I need to toggle somewhere in Creality Print!

Thanks for your time.

Hello Mark_Gales did you figure out a way to perform a nozzle wipe ? I have Ender-3 V3 KE and interested in the same information ?

Hi. I never found out what the problem was. Iā€™m sure there is a way.

I ended up switching to Orca Slicer. At the start of every print it draws a double line on the left side of the bed to get the nozzle going!
