Splodge turns the extruder on just before the start of a thread. This is to give the extrusion a bit anchoring at the beginning.

Operation
The default 'Activate Splodge' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.
Settings
Initial
Initial Lift over Extra Thickness
Default is one.
Defines the amount the extruder will be lifted over the extra thickness of the initial splodge thread. The higher the ratio, the more the extruder will be lifted over the splodge, if the ratio is too low the extruder might plow through the splodge extrusion.
Initial Splodge Feed Rate
Default is one millimeter per second.
Defines the feed rate at which the initial extra extrusion will be added. With the default feed rate, the splodge will be added slower so it will be thicker than the regular extrusion.
Initial Splodge Quantity Length
Default is thirty millimeters.
Defines the quantity length of extra extrusion at the operating feed rate that will be added to the initial thread. If a splodge quantity length is smaller than 0.1 times the perimeter width, no splodge of that type will be added.
Operating
Operating Lift over Extra Thickness
Default is one.
Defines the amount the extruder will be lifted over the extra thickness of the operating splodge thread.
Operating Splodge Feed Rate
Default is one millimeter per second.
Defines the feed rate at which the next extra extrusions will be added.
Operating Splodge Quantity Length
Default is thirty millimeters.
Defines the quantity length of extra extrusion at the operating feed rate that will be added for the next threads.
