Comb is a craft plugin to bend the extruder travel paths around holes in the slices, to avoid stringers.

Operation
The default 'Activate Comb' checkbox is off. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, nothing will be done.
Settings
Running Jump Space
Default: 2 mm
Defines the running jump space that is added before going from one island to another. If the running jump space is greater than zero, the departure from the island will also be brought closer to the arrival point on the next island so that the stringer between islands will be shorter. For an extruder with acceleration code, an extra space before leaving the island means that it will be going at high speed as it exits the island, which means the stringer between islands will be thinner.
Examples
The following examples comb the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and comb.py.
> python comb.py
This brings up the comb dialog.
> python comb.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
The comb tool is parsing the file:
Screw Holder Bottom.stl
..
The comb tool has created the file:
.. Screw Holder Bottom_comb.gcode
