Little nugget at the end of the printed pieces

Hi,

Any way to avoid the little "tail" remainder after the printer finishes? In cura I tried to increase the X Y motion on the gcode end code but it is still happening :/


My printers:
-Makerbot TOM (#5215, circa 2011), MK6 extruder, ABS 3 mm
-HICTOP Prusa i3 (modded for auto-level, thread screws), ABS/PLA 1.75 mm

Add a -e distance in the end gcode to retract filament
Maybe a +z as well?

Do you have an example of what you use? I tried with several settings and the nugget is always there! not that is an annoyance but It would be cleaner without it
