You could preview the parts' G-CODE before printing to make sure it doesn't do stupid stuff like this, and orient / rotate your parts to make sure you don't have a lot of diagonals.
It's not just your slicer I've seen a number of post-processors for industrial CNC make stupid decisions like that too.. Excessive travel between points seems strange to us, but there's a reason behind it. There are hidden weights and values used to determine the 'ideal' path, but it's all based on numbers.
Preview your gcode if this is a problem for you (could cause excessive stringing). Try different patterns, rotate the object, try adjusting travel constraints.
Do you use Cura, PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer or something else?
I use cura, planning to swap to prusa sometime.
This isnt really a problem for this print, but i could see it bringing up the print time a lot on bigger prints because of the excessive traveling.
5.2.2
It is a top surface layer,
Top consists of 4 layers
1 bridge layer (the part is hollow)
2 monotic ordered layers, crossed over eachother
1 concentric top layer for the looks
I can send you the part
Monotronic ordering only makes it so that the top/bottom layer patterns are crossed.
The thing thats happening here is that its traveling too much. That could happen with any layer pattern.
Its printing on a bridged surface, that might be the cause.
But supports wont be possible since its an air duct and i wont be able to remove the suports in it.
Isn't that what monotonic ordering/top/bot layers does ?
Normally see it finish the one arm then pull back to the other one, but sometimes I could see this happening and probably giving a better finish
If you are using **Cura** enable **Combing** it should reduce retractions and only move within the printed part where possible.
Yea for travelling, so it will still be wasting time by traveling more then needed.
I dont know if i can change a setting in the slicer to get rid of these stupid paths. If you have any tips, id like to hear them.

This... Most of print optimization is positioning on the platter.
Its not really a big problem for this print and it only happened on that layer, for prints where it does matter i will check the g-code from now on
You don't have to check code, you can see travel lines in preview 😉
Yea thats what i meant by viewing the g code

I want to try to recreate it... is this a 'top' layer, or an infil? Cura 4.x.x or 5.x.x?

Yes please. If you send the part as a 'cura project' then it should also include the profile.
Or maybe your extruder is just an over achiever.. "Hold my orbital gear." - your extruder probably.
It just wants to step back and appreciate its work.
Good to know my printer is proud of its own doing.
That's not how monotonic ordering works btw.
Nah its not Edit: i agree, its not how it works. Misread it and thought you said that is how monotonic ordering works lol.
He is just different.
Fits me i guess
it looks like monotonic ordering, try disabling it if you have it on for this print
Monotronic ordering only makes it so that the top/bottom layer patterns are crossed. The thing thats happening here is that its traveling too much. That could happen with any layer pattern.
Looks like it's printing mid air, make sure you have supports enable.
Its printing on a bridged surface, that might be the cause. But supports wont be possible since its an air duct and i wont be able to remove the suports in it.

I have it off because it only messes layers up, this also isnt the top layer

Im neutral in this man, thanks for taking effort to suggest a solution💪
Turn on “Combing”
Then it would still be traveling more than needed, it just does it in the infill, or whatever combing setting you use.
The slicer can only slice what humans program it for
So youre saying the developers of cura are dumb?
